[OSR-devel] initrd dieting coreutils vs. busybox

[Gordan B. <go...@bo...>]

I notice that in:

/etc/comoonics/bootimage/rpms.initrd.d/baselibs.list
there is coreutils - unfiltered.

This is about 9MB on RHEL5. What about replacing this with busybox? 
That's only 2.4MB, and seems to include everything I can think of that 
the OSR init root might require.

Granted, 9MB->2.4MB isn't as big a saving as some of the other recent 
ones, but it might be worth having if it doesn't end up being too 
involved to switch.

Thoughts?
