BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a
link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
will act like whatever it was invoked as!

I am in need of a tgz of symlinks to all currently available apps as shown above and used in busybox. Any help with that would be appreciated.

The build automatically generates a file "busybox.links", which is used by
'make install' to create symlinks to the BusyBox binary for all compiled in
commands. Use the PREFIX environment variable to specify where to install
the busybox binary and symlink forest. (i.e., 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install',
or 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install-hardlinks' if you prefer hard links.)

The build automatically generates a file "busybox.links",

740K ought to be enough for anybody . . .

There are still a few minor details before packaging:

1) need to disable the non-symlinked applets in the config so they wont get built in the deb

2) console prompt does not show hostname or directory, only the prompt

3) command history not saved upon exit

I'm not really keen on installing a lot of files here and there and then not having any uninstall option.
