what a surprise, you can find busybox everywhere. it probably is the GPL violation #1 (see http://www.gpl-violations.org/). busybox is a big pile of poo and openbsd does not do what busybox does. but you can probably compare the busybox concept with our crunched install images (see crunchgen(1)), many programs are linked into one single binary to get a very small system. you should not do this, get an embedded system with a CompactFlash slot and use a 256MB+ disk to install the normal OpenBSD base system. reyk
