So you have specifics?

Umm. What possible good would it do to parse dd output? Check the

I did indeed re-enable wc. But seriously though, if you know
the file's name, couldn't you just stat(2)? Something like:
struct stat statbuf;

stat(filename, statbuf);

cool. I hadn't realized this was debootstrap. I keep
getting debootstrap and dbootstrap mixed up. Can't

BTW: does ls --block-size=1 -s look broken to you?
busybox ls doesn't know what that is.
Sorry, meant fileutils' ls. Bug?
the ls you have available on boot-floppies is busybox, not fileutils.
Forget boot-floppies!
