Each embedded installation may benefit from a slightly tweaked busybox from the busybox upstream default. All embedded installations of busybox are likely to benefit from a busybox built against a configuration completely unlike anything useful in standard Debian. For Emdebian Crush, I stuck to a busybox config which was fairly close to the standard default busybox configuration and nothing like the Debian config. I don't think there is a way of providing a single configuration of busybox which is both ideal for d-i and friendly to embedded systems. I cannot recommend any embedded system should use any version of busybox built by Debian for d-i without *also* installing and using coreutils, login, passwd, shadow, perl and all the rest. i.e. busybox from Debian is only suitable for what Debian normally does with busybox - which explicitly does *not* include handling passwords, shadow or otherwise. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
