Replacing gnu tools in woody with busybox

[Rajkumar S <voidmain@myrealbox.com>]

Hello all,

Is it possible to replace all gnu tools in woody with busybox. I am 
removing packages from LAS knoppix <http://www.localareasecurity.com/> 
to make it still smaller. One idea is to remove all the hefty gnu tools 
and replace it with busybox. but understandably, when I tried  to remove 
the core stuff, lots of dependency problems crop up.

Has any one tried this before? One idea I see is to repackage busybox 
with all correct dependencies. Any more ideas?


Also can I install a deb with out all locales that I do not need ad 
docs? My current plans are an rm -rf, but any gentler solution ?
