how did you invoke install.sh ? I am asking since install.sh is testing (in function action_testing) for the compatibility of the installed tar with the -z option already and would install the Debian tar to help out: action_testing () { echo "Testing system setup" ... if $TAR_APPLICATION --help 2>&1 | grep "Usage: $TAR_APPLICATION \-\[cxtvO\]" >/dev/null; then echo "W: $TAR_APPLICATION does not support gzip archives" echo "Downloading tar package" wget $TAR_PACKAGE -O /tmp/tar.deb rm -f /tmp/data.tar.gz # FIXME: ar should just overwrite it ( cd /tmp && ar -x tar.deb data.tar.gz ) mkdir -p /usr/local gunzip -c /tmp/data.tar.gz | $TAR_APPLICATION -x -C /usr/local/ TAR_APPLICATION=/usr/local/bin/tar rm -f /tmp/data.tar.gz rm -f /tmp/tar.deb fi You should consequently not have any advantage from downgrading cdebootstrap, as it was my very initial hunch. My other two suggestions to update busybox or install a separate tar package was the way to go. Please be so kind to report / investigate.
