Now,I was looking at one mail in the mailing list : +gunzip -c /tmp/data.tar.gz | tar -x -C / rm -f /tmp/data.tar.gz rm -f /tmp/cdebootstrap.deb The installation now gets further but fails later on because it tries to use -z again - the solution was to replace /bin/tar with the version from http://packages.debian.org/sid/armel/tar/download . As I understand from it,if I do gzip then again internally if it tries to use tar -z then again the installation may fail.So what do you suggest?Shall I go ahead gzip-ing?
