What is the reason you are not able to install that link yourself? IMHO we shall remove that link creation feature of Busybox completely. Why can't we have a bb_install script that does this installation. That script may not only install the links. The script may even create directories, devices and add some necessary (minimalistic) configuration files (under /etc). In addition the script may be tailored to create Busybox root systems for different purposes (initrd, initramfs, hd boot portion, chroot environment, web server cgi environment, etc.). After root system creation the script is no longer required and may be removed (not to be included in initramfs - will not waste that space in minimalistic systems). Just to give my cent on that topic. I always disable that install feature to create a Busybox without that overhead. I never used or need it anyways. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
