He sees he is supposed to type "help", and then apparently there they are, the "reduced set of commands". He thinks, "Well, with no 'mount' command I'm not going to be able to do what he told me to do." Dismayed, he powers off, and drives all the way back home. Moral of the story: So on the message about the "reduced set of commands", mention some numbers (regular 333, reduced 241), and also say "more that just what is in the Busybox 'help' list!' Many users, after getting used to e.g., grub's *real* reduced set of commands, get used to: "if it is showing me this list, it is saying 'that is all there are, so don't bother looking for more'. (bash doesn't mention its built-ins every time one starts it. So your Busybox should be made to not to either as those builtins aren't very useful here.)
