You also have to copy the necessary libraries for 'ls'.  Do a 'ldd /bin/ls'
and copy those files to ~user/lib and it should work.  Technically, you need
a ~user/etc directory as well.

We hard-link the binaries and libs to a master directory on the partition.
It sames on disk space and also allows for easy upgrades.

This might be a bit more trouble than it's worth for individual dialup
customers, but it works pretty well for us for our web hosting customers.
