Could I copy the busybox from BL3 to BL2?  In BL2 it is a bunch of files 
(symlinks) in /bin/busybox.  In BL3 the symlinks are in /bin.  The BL3 
busybox has a better wget and I think tar also worked better (I could tar 
a package and leave out some things?).  BL3 busybox also has ftpput.

My files are 207K for BL2 busybox, May 6 2004
and 417K for BL3 busybox, Apr 27, 2004

(Maybe these are dates when I installed linux?)
