In my experience, the version of ash provided by busybox works pretty well. Why did you decide to use slack ash instead? > I don't have the "ip patched" version of ifupdown and included ifconfig and > route.

It is unfortunate that the ifupdown patch is not public; Bering is less than 100% open source as a result. > > I don't know if uClibc is the way to go for LEAF, but it's rappidly evolving. > Glibc 2.0.7 is not maintained and Glibc 2.2.x is just to big to fit on a floppy. If enough of us use uClibc-based LEAF packages, perhaps there should be a uClibc branch in the LEAF package repository. One problem is that new uClibc versions are released fairly frequently; perhaps we could standardize on the current release (0.9.12), and provide new branches for new releases. > An other 'advantage' of uClibc is that you can get rid of nss libs and > nsswitch.conf. > > Regards, > Eric Spakman > -Richard ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
