Hi, It's been a while since I checked this, it may have changed. but from what
I remember none of the generic targets use busymox.
the embedded-minimal uses it for almost everything, the regular embedded has an
option to use it. ans the xen target uses it for init. (grep around in the
target dir to see this)
I believe the initrd tiny rootfs in generic targets use something built with
ulibc (embutils) and not busy box.
Note that busybox is highly configurable, and you would probably have to tune
it to include the functionality that is needed for your user space, and leave
out what you don't need. you may also have to enable a lot of gnu extensions in
the commands, because they are rather brain-dead, and many commands will fail
when they are used with the gnu options that we now take for granted.

I've been proposed a question and since I don't know the answer I'm
passing it on to the community, and Rene of course as he will most
likely know at least part of the answer.
Question : Just how much of Busybox is used? What commands are most
important and which are rarely (if never) used?
I have until the end of April before I need to answer if anyone has
feedback for me please use this thread title.
thanks
