Good hint, let it away for a floppy-only release, but included for CD 
versions, where we have enough space and probably more packages, and maybe 
one that requires libnsl...

Raises size of root.lrp somewhat about 20kb. 
Of course you'll win space replacing ifconfig.lrp with the smaller busybox 
applets - and therefor this seems a reasonable solution for a 1680kb floppy 
version.
On the other hand, for CD versions the smaller root.lrp the better, as you 
all know, boot floppy is limited to 1,44MB - and once you've booted you could 
add as many packages as you like, regardless how big they are from /dev/hda...

I don't like it, but for now I think we need two versions of busybox and 
root.lrp.
