I'm trying to add shred (from the GNU fileutils package) to tomsrtbt, but 
I'm running into a number of problems. The first is running buildit.s:

        - I created a 30 MB partition on /dev/sda1
        - I unpacked tomsrtbt to /mnt/hd (which is /dev/sda1)
        - I make some changes
        - I run buildit.s from the tomsrtbt-1.7.361.unpacked directory
        - I get "Cannot build, -245 sectors free!" 

I can't see what the problem is, since I have 20+ MB free on /mnt/hd. Any 
ideas?

The second problem is shred itself. I have a statically-linked, gzexe'd 
binary linked against libc6 that appears to work fine on a normal system, 
but under tomsrtbt I get the following errors:

        set: Illegal option -C
        mktemp: not found
        cannot create temporary file

Does anyone have shred (or similar) working under tomsrtbt? Is it just a 
missing mktemp binary, or is this more of a library problem? Any help 
would be...well, helpful. :)
