They are in "-H newc" format. Red Hat must have done something to it to change the defaults from normal. What version of cpio are they including? THe normal standard is gnu-cpio 2.4.2, which does not default to the new SVR4 format, so Red Hat must be going off into the brave new world again. Can anyone else on the tomsrtbt mailing list confirm that Red Hat has a cpio now that with "-c" defaults to "-H newc"? Apparently it might not even _support_ the normal cpio standard posic (old-c) format? I don't have Red Hat, so I need some help here... PS, you can tell the format from the "070701" at the beginning. 070707 is the old format, 070702 is the new with crc, and 070707 packed is binary. PPS, I do expect the tomsrtbt pax to support the new SVR4 format some day, maybe in a month or a year. -Tom
