I'm surprised that LEAF to this day does not automate the process of 
reading in all of the *.lrp files.  This was suggested many, many years 
ago and implemented in Oxygen.  This way you don't have to list all of 
the LRP names.

Have you looked at acfg and apkg?  They are shell scripts that are 
packaged as *.lrp and can be used instead of lrcfg.  They use a menu 
interface using dialog and ncurses.

I might add that apkg does check for space constraints (if desired) and 
will verify that there is enough space prior to saving the package.

Charles mentioned that du was limited or unavailable previously; the 
Oxygen build of busybox is quite substantial compared to other systems, 
so this could be a problem - but you never know...
