apkg -e is a dangerous command and needs more robust testing.

Also, use "ShiftPgUp" and "ShiftPgDn" to go back and forth and see
what happened.  In situations like yours, often busybox segfaults all
over the place and quits - thus "mount" never mounts /proc and you get
what you see.

In the past, I've had lots of problems with insmod...

Now I've gone and installed busybox 0.51pre from CVS, and the segfault
in more seems to have gone away.  Everything seems to work - mount,
tar, insmod - but tar always did look like it worked.

I've also updated e3 -- so that :w! doesn't create a file called '!'
(ouch!) and so that carriage returns get added to the end of the file
as needed (ouch!!)...

I also updated jwhois if anyone cares :-)

I'd like to boot this thing a few times, and check it out, but I'll
probably release it as an update tomorrow.
