the ISO tar version is too old. If you need to build a 2.4.28 kernel
with it then you will just have to update tar first. (wontfixthat).

The tar option namechange is unfortunate, but don't blame me for GNU
people changing their minds.

Yesterday I had to recompile my kernel in order to add some features to
my workstation, but none of the 2.4 kernel build:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

It keeps asking for patchfiles....
And the same goes for linux-2.4-stable and -grsec.

There seems to be a problem extracting the files...

My info:
moonbase, Lunar, Lunar-tools: latest
Perl: 5.8.5
tar: 1.15.1
present kernel: 2.4.28

dammit .. unknown syntax changes in the latest available tar. Should be
fixed now. Thank you very much Remco.

In the processes of doing a new install on a friend's box, and it looks
like version of tar included from the iso (1.3.25) doesn't support
either --strip-path=1 or --strip-components=1.  It also looks like
there are no equivilant options to send to the version of tar installed
by default.  Maybe the only fix is to update the version of tar on the
iso?
