At least I've solve mine. good luckzzzzzz On 7/15/05, Zac Medico wrote: > Iain Buchanan wrote: > > On Thu, 2005-07-14 at 08:36 +0200, Richard Fish wrote: > > > >>Iain Buchanan wrote: > >> > >> > >>>-install: applet not found > >>>/init: 41: In: not found > >>>/init: 45: cat: not found > >>>/init: 150: sed: not found > >>> > >> > >>Apparently it is a problem with busybox configuration: > >> > >>>From another thread on this list less than 12 hours old: > >> > >>Zac Medico wrote: > >> > >> > >>>It's not as bad as it looks.

Richard said something about that (I wasn't aware of this behavior).

It seems that the genkernel devs may have overlooked this minor detail. It's easy to forget about it after you have a working busybox in your bincache. > > Zac > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- Regards, Chee Ong -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
