1	In retrospect, is busybox in the initrd linked statically? I didn't
2	check. If it is then we SHOULD be able to hardcode the busybox versions
3	of those tools (test, mv, ln) rather than using the cdrom versions.

5	One simple way to do it (using my algorithm of moving stuff into /.old
6	then deleting it all at the end) would be to put /.old/bin on the PATH,
7	like this:
8
9	PATH=/.old/bin:/bin

11	Hm, does the busybox shell do command search hashing? If so that's a
12	bit of a problem. Well, it should be simple to work around.
