Hello
I got BusyBox up and running on my Linux 2.4 (for SH3 platform) linked with
uClibc and the size is only 88KB. I find it surprising that there is such a
big size difference between the i386 version and the SH3 version.
BTW, regarding busybox. Each time you want to run a command of busybox, you
must start a new busybox. Is there a way to start the shell of busybox and
then run the built-in commands without starting a new busybox process. We're
running short in memory and we can't afford a new instance of busybox for
every single commands.
Thank you all for your help
Regards
Jean-Yves
