Could I just install busybox to include all these commands that i need like ifconfig, killall, etc.


I suppose so, but it's a lot easier to just copy what you need from the tarballs.

I have the busybox source, is there a special way you have to install it on the empeg or can I just do a regular ./configure, make , make install?


You cannot develop on the player itself. You need to set up a crosscompiler.
Download the arm linux toolchain from the hijack site and prepare some
time for getting it to work.

Some configure scripts make wrong decisions when running in a crosscompiler
environment. I noticed that when building rsync.
