Subject: [suse-oracle] cpio hangs... cant begin install

    Hello everyone I have been preparing to install oracle on suse 80

    Ive downloaded the files from otn oracle.com and created seperate partitions

    here is what I have
     
    Nicole:/work/orainstall/disk1 # gunzip lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz
    Nicole:/work/orainstall/disk1 # ls
    . .. lnx_920_disk1.cpio
    Nicole:/work/orainstall/disk1 # cpio -idmv lnx_920_disk1.cpio
    <cpio never comes back...>

    #######################################
    from oracle install notes (from oracle OTN)

    Directions to extract the files
    1. Run "gunzip <filename>" on all the files. Eg. lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz
    2. Extract the cpio archives with the command "cpio -idmv < <filename>"
    Eg. cpio -idmv <lnx_920_disk1.cpio

    Important Note: Some browsers will uncompress the files but leave the
    extension the same (gz) when downloading.
    If the above steps do not work for you, try skipping step 1 and go
    directly to step 2 without changing the filename. Eg. "cpio -idmv
    <Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz"

    what could be the problem? Block size for cpio? ???

    thanks in advance
    rob

  Of course, this may all be a bad idea.  Fortunately, it'll be optional.
