busybox

I'm trying to install pkg in a limited space embedded system. I use busybox's dpkg. To let dpkg work, I just touch a file

touch /var/lib/dpkg/status

But, it still can not work.

$dpkg -i ntpdate_4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3_sh4.deb                           
dpkg: package ntpdate depends on netbase, which is not installed or flagged to be installed

How to flag the netbase as installed?

Does anybody know how the dynamic linking and shared library loading works in BusyBox 0.61 ? I can't seem to find how this is done. There's no 'ld' present on the embedded system I'm dealing with, nor is there an LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set anywhere. My motivation for this is to be able to create… >>> More

Most Busybox questions are related to the fact that users are dropped to a Busybox shell due to some unknown issues at boot time. This must make Busybox one of the most hated pieces of software. My problem is the opposite. I want to deliberately start Busybox at boot time either from GRUB, or even… >>> More
