No, presumably you are. I could mail you RAM if you want but you can
probably also get it quite cheaply there. People are throwing it out
here. We found a lot of SIMMs (4-16M, 72-pin) at a non-ferrous metals
recycling place when we brought in motherboards. A computer repair shop
might sell you some very cheaply. Or you could pay the postage if I send
it. 72 or 30 pin?

I have run across this before as
ar x something.deb
I also see tar xvfz as tar -xvfz.
Why sometimes a hyphen '-' and sometimes not?

BL2 does not appear to have an ar in its busybox - where do we get one?
Is ar small enough to include in BL2?
