The dreambox uses a cut-down version of the linux operating system system. Press tab twice - you'll get a list of all the commands you can run. (Do take a backup of your image though as you'll no doubt logged in as 'root' which is basically 'god' on the dreambox!!)

bunzip2 - extracts .bz2 files (similar to ZIP)
cat - used primarily for displaying the contents of files
chmod - sets permissions on files or folders
clear - clears the telnet screen (my most used command lol :))
cp file1 file2 - copies a file from one place to another.
echo - use in script files to output text or variables
insmod - loads a kernel object/module into memory
rmmod - unloads a kernel object/module from memory
killall - terminates a program (and its subprocesses)
ln - creates a (sym)link
ls - outputs a directory listing
cd - changes the current working directory
rm - removes a file
mv - moves a file
mkdir - creates a directory/folder at the specified point
ping - pings other devices to determine connectivity
ps - lists the currently running processes
sleep - pauses for X amount of seconds. useful in batch/scripts.
mount - mounts a device or filesystem at the specified point
touch - creates an empty file of zero length. useful for placeholders.
umount - unmounts a previously mounted device or filesystem
wget - gets a resource from the internet, etc
date - outputs the date and optionally the time
df - lists the filesystems and their usage
dmesg - shows you kernel and console messages
halt - immediately shuts down the system
poweroff - shuts down the system, but nicely.
