Addition of busybox 1.2.1 as a mindi-busybox new package
This should avoid delivering binary files in mindi not built there (Fedora and Debian are quite serious about that)

1Quickstart on making the Busybox boot-floppy:
2
3 1) Download Busybox and uClibc from CVS or tarballs. Make sure they share a
4 common parent directory. (i.e. busybox/ and uclibc/ are both right off of
5 /tmp, or wherever.)
6
7 2) Build a Linux kernel. Make sure you include support for initrd.
8
9 3) Put a floppy in the drive. Make sure it is a floppy you don't care about
10 because the contents will be overwritten.
11
12 4) As root, type ./mksyslinux.sh path/to/linux/kernel from this directory.
13 Wait patiently while the magic happens.
14
15 5) Boot up on the floppy.
