Sorry for the mis-description, I presume that the intent is clear though. > no this patch has the same fundamental problems than the one > that was merged for 0.85d. It is different in that it's a second option, so it is possible to have busybox without replacing all the non-busybox parts. > * ugly: once busybox has a busybox --list, there would be no need > to invoke tail, tr, sed and grep.

Such things of course will be less likely to be found if there is no easy option of creating an initramfs that uses it. The last patch that I sent will give no different result unless you set ONLY_BUSYBOX=y, so I can't imagine it causing any problems for anyone. The sleep bug is reported as below: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341403 Having this code in mkinitramfs makes it more likely that the busybox bugs will get fixed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
