18. Updated busybox - new commands, time, dpkg, rpm, rpm2cpio, uuencode and large file support.

Does this mean that the DSL base can now install/view deb and rpm files?

Cheers and beers!

I've been told the best way to learn is to explain it to someone else in front of "experts". People who are knowledgable (and sometimes even if they're not!) on a topic will soon tell you if you're wrong, and love you for the opportunity to either show their prowess or make jokes at your expense!

Yes, both dpkg and rpm.
Are there implemented via busybox, so they may not have the full functionality of their GNU counterparts.
Check their --help options on each.

passwd seems to be broken. Wanted to change the password for root and dsl to be able to connect using ssh. But I only get the busybox usage screen.

Thanks for the excellent work!
