hi folks
Any archive produced by tar 1.13.92 ary not accessible with busybox.
Any versions before produced archives in a format called GNU. It only
uses a little subset of available types and moved the other information
into the mode field. This format is neither compatible with POSIX nor
with us

hi folks
i do some work on the s390 port and see the following not realy bugs:
- cdebconf uses \r for the progress bar which the terminal don't
support, it looks like this:
|Y 1.5%" Y 1.5%" Unpacking autopartkit
| Y 3.0%" Y 3.0%" Retrieving base-installer

hi folks
I just merged current CVS into the busybox-cvs package. It matches
mostly upstream 1.0.0-pre8 which should be the last release before
1.0.0, so this is also the final test for upstream release.

s390-tools includes a lib which provides the complete functionality.

Hi folks
Disclaimer: I don't do a deeper look into partman so this may already
work.
This features will be needed by a possible s390 support in partman:
- IBM disklabels (Sven Luther offered to take a look on it) for internal
storage, some other partition type for the FC storage.
- Proper recog

never sets the right value in the PedDevice struct.
