Re: [RULE] Structure of slinky filesystem/bin folder

[C David Rigby]

Marco,
	Yes, IIRC, that makes sense, since busybox is a single binary that 
handles all of the calls that would normally be separate files.  If I 
issue this command:

ls -l public_html/rule-tool/slinky_devel/filesystem/bin

I get this result:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 rule     rule            7 Mar 20 10:58 ash -> busybox

So, it seems that wget is following the links and getting the file each 
time.

Is there some particular portion of that directory structure that I can 
tar/zip for you and include separately?  Or possibly I can simply create 
here a slinky boot disk iamge that you could download?  I do not believe 
that Michael intended for the development tarball to be a "finished" 
release.  Instead, it was the tool to allow us to build our own boot disks.
