Alas, my attempt to install a 32 bit version of xubuntu 8.10 under qemu hung
at "Scanning files: 15%", and has been there for an hour now. I'll have to
take your word for it. (All three scripts work fine under 64 bit dash.)

I encountered one bug in busybox, which I pinged that list about, but
otherwise busybox ash works on 'em all too.
