That is because using .bashrc assumes you have the bash package installed. If you are using the inbuilt busybox shell (ash) then .bashrc will be ignored. You need to alter the file '~/.profile'. If you don't have one, create it.

I decided there probably was not that much differance between the 2 busybox binarys and simply replaced the /bin/busybox binary with the new one. Obviously I backed up rootfs with backup menu first, so in the event it goes balls up I can just restore.
