Hello. This happened to me while installing CRUX 3.4, first on a VM, because of restricted memory the initramfs could not become extracted, but tar tried anyway, and all those messages flying by scrolled the error off screen; finally init(1) could not become started, resulting in a misleading error message. What do you think about the attached patch to "fix" this? --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
