README.md for sub/busybox ------------------------- host-full-config and host-mdev-config are two different configuration files for busybox, which is actually built twice during the bootstrap: - host-full-config is the "full" configuration for busybox, i.e. it instructs the build process to build a busybox binary that contains all the basic commands our host will need: coreutils, modprobe, ifconfig, mdev, etc. That's the binary that will be installed in /opt/busybox and linked in /bin. - host-mdev-config is "mdev-only". It instructs the build process to build a busybox binary that contains *only* the mdev command and its dependencies. That one will be copied into the initramfs: the initramfs uses "mdev" and "mdev -s" commands, this is necessary for coldplugging devices at boot. We don't need busybox to provide any other commands in the initramfs because all the rest is done by skarnet.org binaries.
