There are also further options mentioned in the man page but not in the help output of busybox as shown above. They're probably also not available in the binary. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (400, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries busybox recommends no packages. busybox suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
