Ok.  But to resolve the remaining "unkown commands" - netstat and fuser -
I'm going to have to install tcpip1 and procps, right?  When I install
those, would any such problem as you've mentioned (busybox getting
overwritten) be expected?  Will my having symlinked those commands in
/sbin lead to any propensity for busybox to get overwritten when I install
tcpip1 and procps?

Thanks, James
