Think you are talking about two different things there. Again quoting from the website http://landley.net/aboriginal/news.html - "April 30, 2017 -- End of Line -- Development of Aboriginal Linux has ended, replaced by mkroot." He has much more to say on that topic, I suggest reading it. Ah, he does indeed comment on the license change of busybox in that. My use of Aboriginal Linux predated that, so I can't comment on the mkroot replacement. BTW I did contribute to Aboriginal Linux, the x486 support was my work, coz the embedded device I was using it for uses an x486 clone CPU. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
