This was caused by the changing semantics of `timeout' (0 used to mean wait forever, now it means no delay). This will be fixed in the next image.

You're mostly right. The only effect it has is to extract only the files from the tarball that are in the `/gnu' directory. This won't extract anything from the latest tarball, because it extracts into `.', not `gnu' (which is a good thing). BEWARE: If you extract the latest tarball without first cding into a fresh directory, it'll overwrite your `lib/ld.so' (among other things), which is very bad when you're in the root directory. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
