Most of the tests should work on embedded platforms and with Busybox but I personaly can't guarante that.

On the other hand I would be happy to include what you have found into the containers README file.

We have one archive to run on all flavors of Linux, fragmentation would only make things worse. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
