I have been trying to install Debian on a Neo 1973, and when the installer uses tar with -z, it fails and shows: tar: invalid option --z
The output is:

I: microSD card partitions mounted
I: Done with stage mount
Running stage Debian
Install a basic Debian system
 * Downloading cdebootstrap package
Connecting to ftp.de.debian.org (141.76.2.4:80)

tar: invalid option -- z
BusyBox v1.13.2 (2009-07-15 16:17:08 UTC) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[cxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

I attempted to work around this by unzipping the data.tar.gz file manually, using gunzip, and it progressed to the point of retrieving and downloading the packages, but then failed when unzipping each package using the -z switch.
It appears the tar -z switch is not supported. When I type "tar", I get the following:

BusyBox v1.13.2 (2009-07-15 16:17:08 UTC) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[cxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...


Thank you for any assistance.
