I find it a little strange that you implemented bb to call ash_main. Was the reason for this due to being unable to pass parms to the linux kernel init command line? init="/bin/bb sh" ? /bin/bb on uClinux for example is /bin/busybox but renamed. Seems logical to me to stick with the same logic. You ripped out syslogd/udhcpd/login/logger/httpd/watchdog (this makes my life harder then need be. Infact I want to cry) Please don't say USE=savedconfig.. I know it exists. I wrote it for other ppl to use an option to get a slimmed down. Not myself. > for a list of commands implemented, just run `busybox` Strange again.. More so if your libc is whats screwed and your trying to recover that. Only way a user is to know what applets are there is by running /bin/busybox from the command line before the system got screwed. Granted anything they will call while in the asm_main if it exists it will call it unless they Sorry but I do not like what this bb change would do to the default deployment of busybox and would prefer to keep the default closer to what allsysconfig is supposed todo. -crond (key) -crontab -dc -dpkg -dumpleases (kinda key if you use udhcpd) -fold -ftpget -ftpput -httpd (key) -hush -inetd -install -ipcalc -klogd (key) -lash -logger (key) -login (key) -logname -logread -msh -od -rpm -rpm2cpio -run-parts -sulogin -syslogd (key) -telnetd (key) -tftp -udhcpd (key) -uudecode -uuencode -watchdog (key) -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
