I think your choice to say "_most_ important" is an indication that you are now a step or two up the learning curve.<g> I like busybox, which probably means I'm not as far up the ladder, and I disagree with your use of the word "most" above because I think the average beginner should be made as comfortable as possible as quickly as possible with what may be their first exposure to Linux. Even if it is confusing later on (that can be straightened out later on) a good first experience is essential. Tell me, did YOU benefit from the use of busybox at the start ? Maybe all we need is a little text file included with the RD distro warning/explaining the dangers of getting too comfortable with DOS-like commands ? - Clarence Verge. -- Using Arachne 1.66 on DSL.
