This is what I meant, yes. >Perhaps I should remove the tar manpage? no, but include the following text to a README of the hard disk version (or in your website howto). ----------------------------------- >The HD version replaces the busybox versions >of head and sed with the full binaries.

I am alright now. Problems ocurred with tar (in the Midnight commander scripts), sed (in codepage conversion scripts). MY mistake was that I 'upgraded' the HD version with the new 1.61 RD version. This turned out to be a downgrade, because I deleted the binaries. >The simplest way to find the location of a binary is to ask me. Thanks for all your patience, Steven.
