Most questions are assuming that Busybox is an OS. Please read http://busybox.net/FAQ.html#whatis > (1) What is the minimum footprint in flash memory of BusyBox ?

It is not. OS provides networks stacks and runs apps. Please read http://busybox.net/FAQ.html#whatis > (10) What is the long-term availability of BusyBox?

The project is popular and will be maintained even if any given individual developer stops working on it. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
