Is there a MyDSL extension that thorougly replaces all the busybox instances in DSL? I ran the enhanced install, which I assumed would do it. It didn't seem to though, so I manually installed gnu-utils.dsl. Unfortunately for me I'm still finding a whole bunch of busybox instances.

I personally can't stand busybox (not to start a flame war or anything, I know it has it's purposes) and want to be rid of it. I'm hoping someone has already gone through this, otherwise I'm either going to have to start with v0.5.3.1 or make my own no-more-busybox.dsl

Thanks in advance.

gnu-utils.dsl work for me.

cd /bin
ls -l | grep busybox | wc -l
41 items found.

cd /sbin
ls -l | grep busybox | wc -l
17 item found.

use mydsl desktop icon, select gnu-utils and then watch the network activity as it gets gnu-utils.dsl

cd /bin
ls -l | grep busybox | wc -1
1 item found, it is the busybox binary

cd /sbin
ls -l | grep busbox |wc -l
0 items found

How could it be any easier?

Okay, I reinstalled, and then installed gnu-utils.dsl and dsl-dpkg.dsl (not that that's related, it's just what I did). Before installation of those I got;

root@box:~# ls -l /bin | grep busybox | wc --lines
6
root@box:~# ls -l /sbin | grep busybox | wc --lines
5
root@box:~# ls -l /usr/bin | grep busybox | wc --lines
16

After install;

root@box:~# ls -l /bin | grep busybox | wc --lines
6
root@box:~# ls -l /sbin | grep busybox | wc --lines
5
root@box:~# ls -l /usr/bin | grep busybox | wc --lines
16

No workie. BTW, this is on 0.8.1.1

Hmm...

Instead of using the myDSL icon, try this:

Download the files from the web site www.damnsmalllinux.org

Choose the "myDSL repository is online" link.

After the download is complete, start up emelfm and navigate to the directory where you saved the files.

highlight the first file and click the myDSL button inside the emelfm window.

Wait until you see the screen flicker for a split second.

Then do the same for the second file.

Finally, check your dirs to make sure that busybox is no longer used.
