Hi; Her is what I did. In order to have repository of the installed files, I used Partition Magic and split the '/' partition in two. the second one will be intact in case I have to reinstall Linux for any reason. I move a bunch of files, including some not yet installed, to this new partition. Now no matter which one of these files, mostly RPM's, I choose to install I receive "Invalid file descriptor: CPIO failed" after which different paths are given. Question: Is there a way to repair these files? Or am I out of luck and have to download them (exactly what I was trying to avoid?) Thanks for any suggestions. Masoud BTW, I use RH6.1. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
