remove useful small programs.

Many people on our unix system use pico for editing on terms and are
comfortable with the interface. Though a coder friend of mine used to
write his programs with ed.
If only we had ced on unix ;)

That's not true. Please ignore. fakeroot make succeeds in ./build

Well pump's not too bad if you don't mind the violation of the dhcp rfc.
It's easy and it works for short usage periods (no lease renewel,

Yes, bootp is a former protocol and dhcp is said to obsolete it.

Like this? Could please someone make this change? I have no

Since busybox upstream is me, I'm happy to include debian specific stuff.
The only concern I have is what happens when someone tries to use udpkg
on their desktop...
Wouldn't it be good to separate udpkg data from dpkg data? So even if
a user uses it (he might want to)

Currently a patch exists in the BTS, look for bugs against modutils.
The patch didn't apply cleanly for me. Do you have any suggestions

modutils debian source. What do I apply that patch to?

Ug, there are two potential problems I see.
1. The patch I made was against 2.4.1-1, not 2.4.1-2, a solutions to that is to
adjust the patch manually, or manually apply the parts that need help, and then
be kind enough to post a new diff (one against 2.4.1-2)

I'd been wrestling with an i386 box trying to boot it from the network

Now it seems that BOOTP is kind of obsolete and DHCP is bound to replace
it sooner or later.
