Hi,
The busybox is too simple, my application heavy based on shell
scripts, I have been thinking to dig out the busybox and replace it by
bash, has anyone remove the busybox to use bash as default shell? How
large size will be increased and what will be any side effect?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
- jh

Removing busybox is not trivial, but you can just install
bash/coreutils/etc as required.
Yes it's bigger, but you want the full tools. No side effects.
