DESKTOP option adds extra functionality to grep?? Wow. Is that really on purpose? I'm not building BB for a desktop scenario, so I definitely switched that off - in fact I never even looked in there, as I just assumed, as it's name certainly implies, that it was a bunch of extra, unneeded, desktopy fluff. Curious, why are additional grep parameters hidden in a completely unrelated option group? Seems like 'Finding Utilities' was already available (and indeed has the other grep options), and would be the logical location for that kind of thing. Is having grep isolate on word boundaries, a core functionality of grep I would argue, related to a DESKTOP in some way that I'm simply not grokking? -C _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
