[yocto] Busybox still old version: Still looking for a clear understanding of an old mystery.

[Brian Smucker]

Hi,

The version of busybox is the same.  I've just temporarily done a 
bitbake -c menuconfig to change one of the options, recompiled using the 
custom config that's generated, and now I want to force its inclusion 
into core-image-minimal.

Thanks,

Brian
