I have task to minimize the root file system, by removing busy box and adding additional packages in place of busybox like core-utils, binutils, tiny-login etc.

The following quotes are taken from http://busybox.net/about.html:

"BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc."

"BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind."

In general, if you are trying to make a small system you would remote things like core-utils and replace them with busybox, not the other way around.

Maybe having a look at poky-tiny might help?
