And how would I disable > busybox in order to use the better tools? +1 ...although "hate" is a strong word, I have been tripped up numerous times in the past by writing a script on my development host only to find it doesn't work on my target device due to the restrictions of the various busybox executables. The "embedded" system of today is the desktop system of only a couple years ago. The only place busybox (and toybox) are needed today are in the MMU-less-type systems, such as Cortex-Ms etc.
