Intersting, since if "busybox" is NOT installed, I can not even build a "initrd.img". And of course: [michelle.konzack@samba3:~/.mutt] apt-cache rdepends busybox busybox Reverse Depends: |bootcd-mkinitramfs busybox-static busybox-static |initramfs-tools which mean, it should be installed anyway on your system, since if I try to deinstall it there will be several things removed...
