Intersting, since if "busybox" is NOT installed, I can not even build a
"initrd.img". And of course:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.mutt] apt-cache rdepends busybox
busybox
Reverse Depends:
|bootcd-mkinitramfs
busybox-static
busybox-static
|initramfs-tools
which mean, it should be installed anyway on your system, since if I try
to deinstall it there will be several things removed...
