boot-floppies don't build well on anything but 2.2 kernels. I've had lots of
problems with it. the loop driver code in 2.3 kernels is either very buggy
or incompatible with the way we use it.

Erik, can you give us some ideas of how you have tested the new busybox? I
know there were some discussions earlier about putting together regression
tests and such. I think it's worth incorporating your fixes into bf, but
maybe some people will feel more comfortable if they have some extra

I've discovered a problem in the tar in busybox with boot-floppies 2.2.15.
I tested with busybox-tar and GNU tar, and it is defenitely in busybox.
For some reason it is making ./ mode 644 (even though in the base2_2.tgz
tarball it is 755). This basically means that users are getting a / with
644 (
