Then, of course, they have a parachute too... (^_^) What about not letting a bin extract *overwrite* files? (I know there is work for that and I haven't offered to do it, but I'm asking to consider it.) When doing an install from scratch, the mkfs has been run, so the filesystem is clean. I don't know what to do for binaries for upgrades, but the current approach doesn't work for that either, right?
