How remove busybox?
 

I use rootfs on SD.
Do anybody know rigth way to remove busybox and install GNU utilities?

You'd have to set up a chroot. Removing busybox and replacing it with GNUtils will result in an un-bootable system.

I installed coreutils on my N800 but it was a bit buggy (seg faults with mv and ls -la)

But anyway, first you will want to install bash:

If you really do want coreutils despite the bug I said above, reply again.

(BTW, keep busybox installed. Just replace it with coreutils & bash. I've managed to install coreutils on my N800 fine but ended up reverting back to busybox. Coreutils has bugs.)

The same problem with bash

Re: How remove busybox?
 

Yes, you need to remove the conflict before you can install.

Open /var/lib/dpkg/status with leafpad/vi whatever and search for coreutils. Find the busybox section and where it says coreutils for conflicts and replaces, remove the word coreutils.

Save the file.

apt-get install libacl1 libattr1

You need to find a deb file for coreutils. I used one from maemo repo.

dpkg -i --force-all coreutils<versionetc>.deb

The bash of that website works fine.

Re: How remove busybox?
 

The easiest way may be to just modify the coreutils package to install its binaries in /usr/local/bin/, then there wont' be any conflict. Then you modify your $PATH in .profile or something and off you go. That's how I have manually installed a few GNU alternatives to busybox.

To get rid of the annoyances of busybox without removing it altogether.
For n900 at this time [PR1.3], become root, then:

apt-get install bash3
apt-get install coreutils-gnu
echo 'PATH=/usr/bin/gnu:$PATH' >>/root/.profile

If you're normal perhaps you only need the last line above :o

There are several other -gnu packages like findutils-gnu tar-gnu coreutils-gnu diffutils-gnu sed-gnu grep-gnu as well as mmv that would make your tablet much more gnuish ...
