busybox is just an executable file. You can certainly remove it: # rm /bin/busybox And you're done. As to "not messins anything up", that is hard to determine. I'd start by running # ls /*bin /usr/*bin | grep busybox and examining the output - all symlinks in [/usr]/[s]bin pointing to busybox need to be replaced by corresponding "standard" utilities; or you need to carefully check that a particular link is not needed and can be safely removed or left dangling. For example, if your /bin/ifconfig is a link to busybox and you remove busybox, ifconfig will stop working. If you don't use ifconfig, it's not a problem. If you do use it, then you need to install some other implementation of ifconfig instead. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
