Most everything you need for a floppy distro compiles under uClibc, including chat, cron, ctar, inetd, ip, iptables, pppd, run-parts, setserial, tc and tcpd, and presumably a bunch of others I haven't tried. Of course, busybox and tinylogin work under uClibc, and do most of the heavy lifting. -Richard _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
