Now you untar the complete modules repository which is ~8 Mbyte compressed. This takes a lot of time (especially on "slow" systems, and if /tmp isn't big enough runs out of memory. -MODLIST is always /etc/modules, so no real need to have a variable for it. MODREPO is probably always different so no need to have a default for it and LIBMOD is always /lib/modules so also no real need for a variable. But I really like the idea, it could also be used for the CD-ROM image instead of using all kinds of mount, umount and dir commands in /etc/modules. Eric - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

With traceroute:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 272952 2006-09-08 00:52 busybox
Without:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 266136 Sep 4 2006 /bin/busybox
Speaking of busybox, I noticed that you're linking busybox to its linked
commands with symbolic links instead of hardlinks. Using hardlinks
should be more memory and space efficient *if* using a symbolic link
takes up an inode in the filesystem in memory/on disk. Unfortunately,
my memory is too foggy to remember exactly which filesystems symbolic
links take inodes in vs directory entries.

OK, then you're welcome to add this to the distribution. :-)

Re: [leaf-devel] patch: enable traceroute in busybox
Hi Paul, I don't want to enable traceroute in busybox, because it don't work out of the box with shorewall and it adds size. Traceroute can also be done from any host connected. I rather have a separate traceroute package.
