Like the original poster I was not offered the choice and just got the error message. But when I installed cpio from the command line I was offered the choice (and chose tar) It is not hard to install a package from the command line : Open a terminal, enter 'su' (without quotes) to become root user. Give root password when prompted. Enter 'urpmi cpio' Thats it. :-) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
