I follow the optional instruction here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...royo-step-step-installation-2.html#post528613
and install busybox. Everything went through without error. However, I don't know:

1. how can I tell if it is installed;
2. where is the | on the keyboard? I was going to compare the number files under /system/xbin to another phone (without the installation) but couldn't find | to complete the command, ie, ls -l | wc -l

can someone help me?

thanks!

Here is the update:

1. I did install it as I found additional packages by comparing two phones;
2. To get |, (I use Terminal Emulator) I need to press manual button to enter "Toggle softkeyboard" option. It is embeded deep there.

alternatively, I think you type alt-shift-semicolon. Perhaps you have to press alt, then shift, then semicolon, or something like that. Some combination of those three keys should do it.
