We met already.  Weren't you working on using busybox tar instead of
ctar, Arne?  Is it working yet?

I'm trying to switch over in Oxygen - currently I'm getting error
returns of 153.  Believe it or not, I actually got a 153 return err in
a FULL distribution - turned out to be that the filesize limit
instituted by the shell was being tripped.  But what is it in Oxygen
with 2.4?  Works fine with 2.2...

If you load libm, libncurses, and dialog a basic configuration menu
shows up when root logs in.  If you get the Easy/Setup Disk out of the
development section, you can see an extensive set of extendable Setup
scripts using dialog - but I'm still wanting to work on those.  Hard
to test, especially if the tests are "destructive" as a setup would
be.

My distribution grew out of my mangling LRP beyond all recognition.  I
tend to do that a lot :) and wind up with completely new programs.

I probably would do best in a setting like Linus does with the kernel:
it goes in if HE says so.  Then there's the Apache Group or FreeBSD
model - like I said.... Linus.... kernel...
