Hi Rumen Yes, that installed like a dream. I then emerged 5.93 immediately so that it was officially in my tree. Phew, back to work. Also appreciated the Busybox 1.1.0 which I saw on your URL and downloaded as a backup - especially after Benno Shulenberg's heads-up. Great info. Thanks also to Martin Ullrich who I just see (time differences) has posted a selection of binaries with different use flags. Hope this thread proves useful for someone else some day. Thanks all, and what a great community is this Gentoo! And especially this list. Bogo -- Sent via KMail 1.8.3, o/s Linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

All it would have taken to get around this was 'rm /bin/install' and 'cp /var/tmp/portage/coreutils-5.93/work/coreutils-5.93/src/ginstall /bin/install' and then coreutils would have emerged fine. Have done it here: it worked perfectly. Whatever, Benno, it's been a great lesson in the powers of Busybox for which many thanks. Just emerging 1.1.0 now, btw.

If they don't work, I've also compiled a statically linked package: http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.93-static.tbz2 (12,5 MB!!) ACL support should now be disabled in all packages (USE=-* nls and configure-output showed that it was disabled). I don't know whether you should extract the package from your gentoo or from a live-cd, but don't forget to set the -p flag for extracting with tar or you might end up having an unaccassible version just because of wrong permissions. Hi Martin Many thanks - time differences meant I'd used Rumen's by the time I read this. See other SOLVED post. Hope all this helps someone else in future. BTW extracted from gentoo OK not the live-cd. All your effort much appreciated. Bogo -- Sent via KMail 1.8.3, o/s Linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
