Busybox is a strange thing :) It is only one executable.
When it is run, it's behaviour is depending on how it is
called. So if you have a symlink to busybox with the name
'ntp' and run that, the busybox executable behaves like
ntp.
And if you have a symlink to busybox with the name 'vi'
and you run that, the busybox executable tries to behave 
like vi, etcetera.

So, if you want to make your image smaller, removing the 
symlinks and putting them outside the image (like on an
USB stick), that won't give you much room (only one inode
spared).

And if you want to *replace* the busybox-version of an
executable with a 'normal' one (say you want to replace
the busybox version of vi with another vi) then you have
to remove that symlink to busybox and put the replacing
executable on your usb-stick (and somewhere in your 
path, preferably).

Cheers,

Matto
