Bzzt! Thanks for playing, come again.
Specifically, we're building an embedded product based on Linux that
runs in a very tight foot print, but which doesn't use BusyBox. Then
again, it lacks almost all of userland, consisting of a custom init, and
only those programs which are absolutely required. (The biggest of
those at the moment is racoon.)
The whole thing fits under 5 MB, and runs on more-or-less standard x86
hardware.
Of course, a lot of embedded projects _do_ use BusyBox, and it makes
life easier for a lot of them. A Solaris port is still a good idea, IMO.
