Microcore commands

Colin:
I hope I'm not being ignorant & that I won't get an angry response, but is there an easy way of listing all commands available in Microcore so I can > them into command.txt?  I've tried tab tab but they scroll past too fast, & compgen doesn't seem to work.

curaga:
I don't think there is. "help" will list only busybox executables, otherwise maybe "ls /usr/bin" for all PATH directories?

Do you know you can scroll in a shell by shift-page up?

core-user:
I often make a quick listing of programs available on new systems, here's how I do it.

--- Code: --- ls -C /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin >> progs
--- End code ---
This uses the -C option to arrange the output into columns.
(Use less progs to view.)

Colin:
Sorry for the delay in getting back, but thanks both!
There do seem to be a lot of commands & executables I don't need, is it easy to get rid of them please?
And do you think MC can be stripped down to 999kb or less?
Thanks again

Misalf:
Many of the builtin commands are just symlinks to busybox.

--- Code: ---ls -l /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin | grep busybox

--- End code ---

/usr/local/bin/mc  is just 972K
mcdiff, mcedit, mcview are the same size though, and seem to actually be just copies of  mc . I wonder if those would work if they where just symlinked to  mc  just like with busybox.


EDIT:
Yep, that works.  mc.tcz  could be repacked using symlinks for  mcdiff, mcedit, mcview .
However, this doesn't reduce the size of  mc.tcz . I guess squashfs is smart enough to detect duplicates.
