I don't think it is in a standard install to have a static version of busybox installed. Even if busybox was installed, it is more than likely the dynamic, shared lib version was installed.

Frankly, I don't think it is good to "expect" anything; it is best to look and examine, not assume. You have one example of one desktop version. I just checked three servers, one we build directly from CD and two VM from two different companies. In addition, our three example versions were 64 bit and the original poster's version is 64 bit as well.

So far, the evidence and facts we know seem to suggest that the 64 bit versions of ubuntu do not have busybox installed by default.

Hi, Neo.

I expect the worst, but hope for the best Smilie

The busybox-static utility is included in some meta-packages:
Code:
% apt-cache rdepends busybox-static
busybox-static
Reverse Depends:
 |e2fsck-static
 |e2fsck-static
 |debirf
  busybox
  busybox
 |bootcd-mkinitramfs
  ubuntu-standard

and the ubuntu-standard package is a meta-package:
Code:
% apt-cache show ubuntu-standard

So if the OP had a standard install, then busybox-static should be there -- 64-bit, 8.04 still being the differences ... cheers, drl

On 64-bit Fedora/Redhat/Centos, Busybox is statically linked.


Busybox is not installed by default, one has to manually install the RPM.

Well, we have 3 standard 64-bit Ubuntu installs, and none of them have busybox installed, either static or dynamic. One we installed from CD ourselves (as I recall, has been a while) and the other two are recent, 2010, VM installs.

Seems "Ubuntu Standard Install" has little meaning, LOL Smilie

FWIW, on our end, I am talking:

Hi, Neo.

Extracting the depends from each post, separating into lines, sorting, and running through comm yields:
Code:
				Version:1.175
Version:1.197
busybox-static,
language-selector-common,

suggesting that the recent version of a standard install has busybox-static, but not installs of versions as old as the ones into which you logged-in, and possibly not as old as that of the OP ... cheers, drl

( Again with the possible additional differences of Desktop vs Server, 32 vs. 64 )
