Busybox for Tizen Gear 1 + Gear 2

Sorry if this is known but I just saw this today and though some people might like to know. There's a link to Busybox within.

Can't figure out the sdb instructions to actually install it?

Yeah I got the same issue here so apologies. I pushed the file to a couple directories and did "root on" then "sdb shell" to make sure but when it goes to install it complains about needing something like 188kb free space (the package is half that).

So yeah obviously a regular sdb install won't work and it seems I don't know which directory to have the package in when I try to install but that's all I got.

Recreation steps:
1) Ran sdb devices until device was listed (had usb debugging enabled on the gear being rooted running the original Gear Tizen release)
2) Ran sdb root on again to be paranoid
3) Ran sdb shell
4) Copied the file in to /home with "sdb push filename /home". Later on I tried the same thing using the Tizen SDK explorer function to a few more directories since that has drag and drop.
5) Ran the install command it has (rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm)
6) Got free space error. Grr'd.

Here's some of my log excluding the first part:
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /home
pushed busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm 100% 75KB

installing package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l needs 188KB on the / filesystem

Ok so someone clued me in to the missing mount command and now I can get it installed! But like the article states the only advantage I see immediately is a working VI from sdb shell. There's no icon created in the launcher. The only way I know it's installed is when I run the command it tells me and busybox is in the /bin directory. Now some more adventurous people may Google and find out how to manually install busybox packages so for those let me know if you find anything cool!

Here's the log. This was on the initial Tizen release with the root package installed.
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 26099 *
* daemon started successfully *

Switched to 'root' account mode

C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb shell
sh-3.2# su
sh-3.2# mount -o remount,rw /
//The line above was the missing step.
sh-3.2# exit

//Then I go back to command prompt to push the package again to root.
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /

sh-3.2# rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l is already installed
sh-3.2# mount -o remount,rw /
sh-3.2# reboot
Rebooting.

The guy that gave me the said to do this again after. I imagine you might need to do this anytime you try to play around with Busybox if you don't see files listed when you do an "ls -a" or get permission errors:
sdb root on
sdb shell
sdb mount -o remount,rw /
exit

Hope this helps someone.
