How would I use EITHER of these to assign an IP address to a network 
printer?  Or bootp (if I installed it)?  udhcpc seems to want a print 
server which I probably don't have.  Would this be a separate computer?

Regarding busybox, to get udhcpc I tried to copy BL3 busybox over to BL2 
/bin, and somehow also got a copy of the BL2 symlinks in /bin (I thought 
they were BL3 symlinks for a while), but then had to edit rc.S to change 
the path and I messed things up completely so files turned into 
directories so I put BL3 busybox in /bin/busybox directory and I think 
things work now.  I am chrooted from BL3 to BL2.  I manually moved all the 
symlinks from /bin to /bin/busybox then discovered they were still BL2 not 
BL3 symlinks as I had thought (I need to keep notes when messing things 
up like this), and then tried to copy the symlinks one at a time from BL3 
to BL2 but got the whole busybox file instead, and am manually making 
symlinks by comparing what is in each busybox.  ln -s busybox udhcpc, 
(ftpput, etc.)  I can't copy all of BL3 /bin to BL2 /bin/busybox because 
there are some nonbusybox programs in BL3 /bin.

Please let me know the correct way I should have done this, which I will 
use to make any more symlinks that are in BL3 but not BL2 busybox (which 
is half the size).

If there is no correct way, I will continue comparing BL3 bin with BL2 
/bin/busybox and make symlinks manually.
