I just completed an install with a reduced busybox. We are now using route and ifconfig from busybox (no bb ash, see below). Comparing new and old, mounted via loop.
/home/dwhedon/new 3415 2501 914 74% /new /home/dwhedon/old 3414 2634 780 78% /old That's uncompressed savings, BTW. I couldn't get bb ash to work properly, segfault (Bug #114260). I have another version of busybox sitting at http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon : busybox (1:0.60.1-5) unstable; urgency=low * turn on id and printf for boot-floppies * turn off ash for boot-floppies, it segfauls in debootstrap -- David Kimdon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 2 Oct 2001 16:15:42 -0700 id is used for modconf, printf is used by debootstrap. busybox route is in a different place from net-tools route, so I added a symlink, see patch below. I haven't committed the tiny changes we need, they are small and are included in this message. Once we have an official busybox similar to -5 above, or maybe once someone fixes the ash bug I'll commit. -David Patch to boot-floppies to use bb route and ifconfig Index: rootdisk.sh =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/debian-boot/boot-floppies/rootdisk.sh,v retrieving revision 1.257 diff -u -r1.257 rootdisk.sh --- rootdisk.sh 2001/09/22 20:06:46 1.257 +++ rootdisk.sh 2001/10/03 01:27:07 @@ -594,6 +594,7 @@ fi # some friendly symlinks +ln -sf /usr/bin/route $R/sbin/route ln -sf ash $R/bin/sh ln -sf nano-tiny $R/bin/edit Index: scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_all =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/debian-boot/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_all,v retrieving revision 1.35 diff -u -r1.35 EXTRACT_LIST_all --- scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_all 2001/07/05 13:15:24 1.35 +++ scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_all 2001/10/03 01:27:11 @@ -11,6 +11,5 @@ modutils nano-tiny netbase -net-tools slang1 whiptail Index: scripts/rootdisk/SMALL_BASE_LIST_all =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/debian-boot/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/SMALL_BASE_LIST_all,v retrieving revision 1.32 diff -u -r1.32 SMALL_BASE_LIST_all --- scripts/rootdisk/SMALL_BASE_LIST_all 2001/06/29 12:52:34 1.32 +++ scripts/rootdisk/SMALL_BASE_LIST_all 2001/10/03 01:27:11 @@ -8,7 +8,6 @@ sbin/depmod sbin/dhclient-2.2.x sbin/e2fsck -sbin/ifconfig sbin/insmod sbin/ksyms sbin/ldconfig @@ -16,7 +15,6 @@ sbin/mkfs.ext2 sbin/modprobe sbin/rmmod -sbin/route sbin/update-modules usr/bin/whiptail usr/sbin/debootstrap -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
