#1767 fixed Linux installer fails if there is a tape drive => Fixed in 1.6.4 Andy
Description

Hi,

Linux installer (install.sh script) assumes that there is no tape drive on the host system. When there is one, root account typically has $TAPE defined:

bash-3.1# echo $TAPE
/dev/tape

This is where tar is looking by default. For some reason, installer does not use `-f' (which it should, to avoid ambiquity), when trying to untar itself, and the result is the following error:

bash-3.1# sh VirtualBox-1.6.2-Linux_x86.run 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation........
VirtualBox Version 1.6.2 (Sat May 31 04:03:49 CEST 2008) installation
Removing previous installation of VirtualBox 1.6.0 from /opt/VirtualBox-1.6.0
Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox-1.6.2
tar: /dev/tape: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Error installing VirtualBox.  Installation aborted

Easy (and ugly) fix would be to add one line at the beginning of the script:

[ -z $TAPE ] || unset TAPE

Proper fix would be the one below:

bash-3.1# diff install.sh install.sh.fixed

#1768 fixed core dumps from VBox 1.6.2 on Sol10u5 host => Fixed in 1.6.4 phess
Description

Host: Solaris 10 update 5 on amd64 Guest: Windows XP Service Pack 3

When attempting to use Microsoft Update to install MSIE7 VBoxHeadless crashes. Also, VBoxHeadless crashes when attempting to install the latest Flash Player from Adobe. In both cases I had to resort to a command line driven installation to accomplish the task.

I have 6 bzip'd core files totaling almost 1GB that I can leave for your examination. Please let me know where I can upload them for your retrieval.

If there is more information that you need, I can provide it upon request.
