Problem is that I had also send my problem to busybox mailling list and no
body answered :((

I didn't recompile glibc just put binary version from debian.
Recompilation will come soon:)

I found solution, I am gonna rm all files from interbase that require
ncurses cause those r only clients and I don;t need them on my distro.

What's the difference? I need RAM for RAM disk and I have only 8MB :( And
I amm gonna still have some data on disk cause if machine got powerloss
during writting in RAM disk all data will be lost! And that's something I
can't allow. So anyway, I need robust filesystem on my disk. I have
installed ext3 but I didn't try on partition smaller than 30MB . And
ReiserFS still need about 32MB minimum for partition:))
Kind of data I am gonna store are users who take data from database, then
, data about blood and bag with blood. Every bag have wireless transmitter
and barcode and as soon as someone put bag into machine, bar code reader
take data from bar code (and some more:) ) and put it into transmitter
memory and into database too and data are store in database as soon as
someone take them (someone is central server). Machine , also have NIC and
wireless connection to central server.

MySQL is smaller than Interbase. And also, there is Berkeley DB server
(www.sleepycat.com) which is open source and it is exactly for embedded
systems, it have transactions, and is very robust. Meny big distros are
using it for system databases. I didn't try it cause apps which gonna work with DB are
not
gonna be written by me and programmer told me that MySQL is shit and that
he never heard for Berkeley DB and so he want's Interbase and another
problem is that he is my boss:) And he want's Interbase to work on 4MB RAM
and he wants hole system with apps and Interbase to be less than 16MB on
disk:))
