you should be creating soft links to the busybox executable, atleast thats
what I do.

Hi,

I am just wondering about the sizes of the applications that busybox is 
creating. Looking in the /bin directory of my romfs, I can see that 
every application has a size of 114512 bytes. How can this be explained?

# ls -l /bin
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0           18536  Jan 01 1970  agetty
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0           31620  Jan 01 1970  arp
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0           49440  Jan 01 1970  av_main
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0           71664  Jan 01 1970  boa
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0           11400  Jan 01 1970  boa_indexer
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  busybox
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  cat
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  clear
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  cp
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  date
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  dd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  df
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  dmesg
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  du
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0        0          114512  Jan 01 1970  echo
[...]

I thought every app was inside busybox and it itself had a larger size. 
Am I doing something wrong?!

Thank you very kindly for your help,

	Uwe
