This question is not kernel-related, so it shouldn't be posted on linux-kernel@ or kernelnewbies@. As an alternative to Busybox, you might want to have a look at Embutils <http://www.fefe.de/embutils/> or probably the Toolbox thing from Android. But none of them have the same amount of features that Busybox has.

Oh, give me a break. "kernelnewbies", as in "newbie", as in don't know their way around yet. It's a valid point that questions like this shouldn't go to linux-kernel, but if newbies can't post questions to a newbies mailing list without fear of being chastised for it, then I don't what the list is for.

Sorry if my sentence felt offensive. I think the purpose of the newbies mailing list is also for newbies to *learn* their way around, and explaining that posting a question on the right mailing list is I think important. I have no problem with "newbies" doing mistakes, otherwise I wouldn't be subscribed on this list and I wouldn't reply to questions. So, really, my statement was really for information, but I understand that my wording might have been understood differently. Apologies if that was the case.

Dear Friends thanks for reply, I post on Kernel newbies since i could not found any good place to post. We do not want to use busybox due to its licence and security issue. So is there any alternate to busybox .. Thanks On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 12:22 AM, Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> wrote:

What security issue are you concerned about? Can you explain your concern a little more. Also, if you have some busybox specific question, ppl on the busybox mailing list will be able to help you better. -mandeep
