1. Compile statically link busybox

1. Compile a statically linked busybox:

cd $WORKING
wget http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.8.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf busybox-1.8.2.tar.gz
cd busybox-1.8.2

Busybox needs to be configured. I have prepared a configuration file which works with the procedure outlined below --- in particular, busybox needs to be linked statically and must provide inittab support as well
as certain utilities.

wget http://opensource.dyc.edu/pub/tor-ramdisk/scripts/busybox-1.8.2.config
make menuconfig

In the ncurses menu, go to "Load an Alternate Configuration File", and load busybox-1.8.2.config. Exit and save your new configuration. Then do

make

to compile. This should create our busybox binary at

$WORKING/busybox-1.8.2/busybox
