Re: sh install (continue Friedrich Fischer's ost by march-april 2011)

I think I have spotted the root of the problem:

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4111

The bottom line is to force your os using an alternative tail than that of
busybox (e.g. coreutils') until they fix the problem.

An alternative remedy (worked for me) is to use tail +n rather than tail -c+n:
you have to count the script header lines in the .sh file, that will be your n.

Then you can just untar and do a manual install.
