Perhaps an oversite? Why you need it? "clear" command comes from ncurses-bin package on Debian along with e.g. terminfo database manipulation programs. ncurses-bin is a Debian essential and "clear" is also in posix standard so it would probably be good if it would be in the device by default. Busybox package doesn't provide ncurses-bin and from the binaries included into that package Busybox binary could be configured to provided only clear and reset. I'm not sure how nice it would be to have that limited ncurses-bin package in the device... The terminfo database tools shouldn't be necessary there. :-) - Eero
