I recommend using the tar's p flag when extracting the stuff to get the same permissions after extractimg ;-) otherwise you might wonder why permissions of all files changed to root regarding to root's umask settings ;-) > Take a look at the disklabel(8) man page for details.

For the programs in /stand to run, you need the gzip pseudo-device in kernel ...
