Re: Pulling off of *.cpio

[Todd Gruhn <tgruhn2%gmail.com@localhost>]

For one, MP3 does not compress well -- so does it matter it comes off
when I do cpio -iv < foo ??

Why do I need to unzip it 2x?? I see the list if file names when I unzip them.

But I cant find them on the HD. SOOO, did I make the *.cpio file wrong?

Or is the problem the device I write/save the *.cpio file to??
