That is space on the floppy, not on the hard drive, which has only a few K. > set: Illegal option -C > mktemp: not found > cannot create temporary file It looks like it tries to exec a shell and depends on bash and mktemp, or something similarly very ugly. It isn't pretty when a statically linked executable depends on running commands from a shell... > Does anyone have shred (or similar) working under tomsrtbt?

I think it should be very, very trivial to combine "dd" with "/dev/zero" or "/dev/urandom" or "/dev/random" and maybe "filesize" or "lua" to make something as good. Does just opening a file for truncate/write overwrite it? Probably not necessarily. Use lua. Lua allows opening a file in random access update mode. You can probably do it in less than 80 bytes. -Tom
