Since I have a cheatcode of home=hda3, do I remove from .filetool.lst the line:

home/dsl/

Afterall, why am I backing up what is on hda3 to a .gz file on hda3 (where I have set up the backup location)?
Yes.

yes.. but it doesn't have all the man pages, or the right versions of all
Most of the pages should be adequate for learning everything but the most recent changes to the applications. You might find it more frustrating that many features listed in man pages (no matter where you find them) will not be useable with Busybox apps. You can generally run the Busybox commands with the "--help" or similar option to see which options in the man pages actually work with the Busybox version.

But first you have to know what the busybox command is in place of the Redhat command....

Perhaps you should try typing busybox at a command prompt.

Oh....

Now how was I suppose to know that???

http://www.busybox.net/about.html

"BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system."

Wonders of Google.  But then,I should have known....

:cool:
