After download (direct from ADSL Router) and use WinSCP copy to /home

root@IPCMT:/home # chmod +x boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

root@IPCMT:/home # ./boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I have to conclude that your distribution provides incomplete/broken/obsolete version of tar so you cannot install Boinc on your computer.  Sorry.

Try another distribution of Linux.  I recommend
* Ubuntu
* Fedora Core
* OpenSuse

I just did this on my IpCop box. The correct command to install Boinc is:

sh boinc_5.10.28_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

You don't need to chmod it either.

also make sure when you transfer the file to IpCop it is done in binary mode and not text mode. WinSCP defaulted to text mode for .sh files. I got the same errors as the OP when the file was transfered as text.

There is a nice little addon for IpCop here that will let you control Boinc from the web GUI.
