Get the source from http://kernel.org/ . Unpack it somewhere. "cd" there.
"make menuconfig" or "make xconfig".

| BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
| small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the
| utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
| utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured
| GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected
| functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox
| provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or embedded
