Yes lots of sytem files depend on busybox is part of the system... Most system utilities are from busybox.
You can dual boot and customize your image.

Anycase, is there a way to install applications on the MMC? I ask this because I can hardly install anything more in the flash rom.
Thank you.

You can create a swap file and extend your internal memory to you external mmc. in OS2006 you can do that by going to Control Panel-Memory-Virtual.

Anycase, what about gsview? Could you tell me something about this utility? Is it available for the 770?
Salut.

Actually yes if you need more space you can create your own swap.

I am not sure but I dont think anybody has ported any utilities or the capability to print in the 770.

SeRi@iDiE,
You don't understand the concept of swap space and virtual memory.
It extends the system RAM not the filespace. Adding a swapfile will not allow you to install more applications. It will, though, allow you to have more apps running at the same time.

Secondly, putting a swap file on internal flash storage is a recipe for disaster: the increased read/write of a is not very healthy for flash chips, and if a memory card wears out, you can at least chuck it and buy a new one. Guess what happens if your internal flash fails...
Besides.... I'd like to install GhostScript (just to view ps files). But I haven't found it yet at repositories.
Thank you.
