Sure, but the other problem is, when you unpack amigainstall.tgz (which has
the right permissions, because they are set just before the tarball is
built) the permissions get lost. Unpacking from linux: executable maps to
"s" which is for scripts. Unpacking from AmigaOS does not get it right
either AFAIR. But there is nothing which can be done in the boot-floppies.
