Yeah. That's why I'm somewhat confused, as busybox is installing more 
programs into /bin and /sbin directories than what are specified in FHS.

Take /bin as an example, the FHS only specifies a few commands to be there.
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#BINESSENTIALUSERCOMMANDBINARIES
http://www.linuxbase.org/betaspecs/fhs/fhs/ch03s04.html

But we can see that busybox is installing more programs. I get the list 
with the following commands.
1. make allyesconfig
2. make busybox.links
3. grep '^/bin/' busybox.links

Best Regards,
