Hello, cdebootstrap_0.7.7 implemented SHA-256 verification of files:

http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/c/cdebootstrap/cdebootstrap_0.7.7_changelog

busybox included with alt-f does not include sha256sum so the debian installer script errors out.

I have added sha256sum support to busybox (only +3.3KB), so it will be available for the next release.

Meanwhile you can use the attached sha256sum from coreutils which I used to install Debian (just drop it in /usr/bin, eventually fix execute permissions)

Thanks

sha256sum

Thanks, I got around the issue by hardcoding the old cdebootstrap file into the debian cgi script. Just wanted to let you know of the issue :)

hi!
how should I copy it into /usr/bin ?
both mc and commandline fail to do it, and fail to chmod 666 /usr/bin

yes, understood.
su root
(pass)
cp /mnt/sda2/Users/admin/sha256sum /usr/bin/sha256sum
