21 What busybox config? `equery files busybox` doesn't show any config
22 files for busybox. I found the previous thread here
23 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-user&m=112127857419654&w=2 and
24 Zac suggested some different options:

32 but that didn't help either.
33
34 And why do I need to do a `busybox --install` ?? shouldn't this come up
35 in some emerge warning or be done by genkernel or something? I monitor
36 all the output from emerge with enotice, but I didn't see anything about
37 busybox...

39 TIA,
