Re: [Astlinux-devel] trunk's BusyBox vi bug

Well, this will require some careful testing.

Certain things like "bash" and "vi" don't play well with busybox, and we 
had to do things to remove links that couldn't be configured off/on as 
part of the package makefiles...  (perhaps the new version allows us to 
set these?)

Also, Arno's firewall 1.9.0 has certain issues with busybox's modprobe 
and sysctl (which aren't 100% option compatible with their standalone 
binaries).
