Busybox is not "called" ln; it IS ln, cp, mv, rm, tar, gzip, gunzip,
swapon, swapoff, mknod, insmod, rmmod, lsmod, ...on my system, it has
about 70 applets..

Yow! Busybox v0.50 is about to be released - looks like this was
compiled June 19, 1999 - makes it coming up on two years old! I know
LRP 2.9.7 used busybox v0.48 or v0.49; there is your trouble right
there.
It's time you upgraded. First of all, Eiger itself is also hopelessly
out of date; EigerStein2 Beta is the most recent in that lineage.
To upgrade busybox there are some basic steps:
1. Compile or get a new version of busybox
* Compile busybox from CVS using Debian 2.1 or Red Hat 5.2
* Get busybox from another source
2. Install the new busybox in your system
* Use these steps, if busybox (new) is in /tmp:
# cd /tmp
# chmod 755 ./busybox
# type busybox
<find out where busybox is in your system>
# ./busybox cp ./busybox /bin/busybox
<using the right location at the end, if not /bin/busybox>
3. Save the changes
* This means updating root.lrp - and differs among systems.
Probably using lrpkg right?
