Clever.  I thought it was in the install script.

So if someone installs my oper8lib.tgz (which contains all the additional 
libraries, from SW81, needed for Opera 8 or 9) they should not need to 
run ldconfig.  I included the later (static) ldconfig in my package.  Can
BL3 libc5 ldconfig link glibc libraries?

Why does BL3 not have ld.so?  What does it use instead?

I just did a screendump of what I am typing here.  No need to send myself 
a copy of the page.  BL3 is full of useful executables and devices.

nslookup gets IP numbers.  (I used to do this at a website).

Busybox cmp lists only the first differing char in two files.
How is this useful?
cmp file1 file2

id - applet not found (BL3.40 and BL3.50-beta).

Fold does line wrap (80 col is default).  Optionally break at space
(instead of inside words).  How do I unfold?  Delete all the line-break
characters with some program?

What does one use 'yes' for?
printf?
renice - when running two slow processes so one will finish first?

traceroute sdf.lonestar.org (or the IP number found by nslookup:)
gives me:  traceroute:  unknown protocol icmp:  No such file or directory.
Are we missing something?
