In other news I was CERTAIN the alias list just COULD NOT be this big... something should die horribly... or maybe the ram of the machine would be sucked into oblivion.

The machine hasn't been turned off for weeks so I'm going to bite the bullet and do a full restart (to give me a no-leak base memory reading) and see if something dies.

Wish me luck.

EDIT: Okay went through fine...

about a 90Mb footprint these days at boot? Is that right? anyone?
One suprise is highlighted in the picture.

Err. why is the new busybox, starting telnetd.
in fact. why is the new busybox doing anything at reboot?

has my wangle somehow convinced the system to preferentially deal out some of the STARTUP WORK to the new busybox?

sounds insanely dangerous and extremely cool.

well. it certainly WORKS and I see no actually difference YET in my performance, i.e it hasn't burst into flames...... yet.
