There is a lot of work done to use vfork() as much as possible, and 1.10 will have almost all applets converted to vfork() use. If you want to try it, download and build current svn. Report all encountered bugs to the list. In current svn, this is the fullest config which builds successfully on NOMMU: http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/busybox/TODO_config_nommu -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
