Probably you can, but I can't.  I don't understand any of this.  I don't
know how to replace a busybox or even what a dev directory is or does.  Or
what a rescue disk is.  I rescued myself when I messed up the library by
using the RAMdisk version of BL2 to edit it back to the way it was, and I
was thinking I could simply unzip the new library, copy it to /lib and
then use the BL2 RAMdisk version to type up new links.  And if this did
not work at least I could put it back the way it was before.
