Just to clarify these are busybox problems, Technologic Systems is 
not the author of busybox nor a maintainer of busybox. A simple 
solution for userspace problems is to replace the busybox utility 
with the full GNU utility. If you are not comfortable with compiling 
the source yourself you can copy a binary from Debian Sarge seeing as 
though Debian Sarge uses the same version of glibc TS-Linux 
uses(glibc 2.3.2). You can download a Debian Sarge tarball here ftp://
ftp.embeddedarm.com/images/debian/debian-sarge-1.12.tar. Simply 
remove the existing busybox utility, then copy the full GNU version 
from the Debian tarball above. Please keep in mind the utilities will 
take more space than the busybox equivelant and may have other 
dependencies.

TS-Linux is supported and it is finished, please keep in mind 
Technologic Systems is not the author of busybox. You should be able 
to copy awk and find binaries from the Debian tarball above.

The mailing list has been growing recently and I haven't had the 
oppurtunity to follow the list as much as I'd like to. If you have 
any filesystem problems with any of our products please CC me and I 
will be able to help you to resolve any problems you have...
