Well, I installed gcc-with-libs.dsl and the install command doesn't seem to contain the flags I need.

Any other ideas?

Oh...duuuuuh......

The coreutils.uci package contains the GNU version of install. You can run it from the mounted uci, or you can copy just the /opt/coreutils/install file to some other location.

Did it, created a symbolic link in /usr/bin to it and renamed the existing link that pointed to /bin/busybox and got my 3rd party module to install (I think). Thanks so much for your help!

All that's left now for me to do is to figure out how to create an image of what I've created... but DSL is installed on the HDD and searches haven't yet yielded a tutorial on doing this. More than likely, I'll just have to document what I've done and redo it with the LiveCD and remaster.

Thanks again!
