"all the limited busybox commands would be replaced" would be a huge list from dc through gawk, minicom and wget to vim. And would vim-tiny qualify as "the full featured command" of busybox vi, or should this include vim with full features? The nice thing about busybox is that it is so small, in many cases one full featured command alone is bigger than busybox. It is not obvious to me what usecases people have in mind for getting rid of busybox, and whether everyone is aware that something like "all busybox commands replaced" is *very* expensive regarding filesystem size. > Tom cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
