 (a) it doesn't work with kernel 2.4

 (b) you can't support it since it's not what you are using

 (c) there are many bugfixes in the new one

Well, wait a minnit, it's just a proper .deb of busybox with that
install.sh symlink-making script is all I wanted.  Is it really a
busybox-bf package?  Why -bf ?
