Memory penalty. As busybox and dinstall are linked together in this implementation, forking implies doubling the already big memory requirements. Perhaps we should implement a libbusybox.so ... (I wouldn't like to substantially modify busybox right now. We already have enough work with the rewriting, and we need a set of working libc6 boot-floppies ASAP, but if someone wants to take care of busybox, he is welcome). -- Enrique Zanardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dpto.
