I can't recall of any /usr/src/gnu/bin. This may be an issue? I still think that add an aditional support for *.tar files=20 (uncompressed) and some flexibility to initdiskless must be of=20 interest. Also, I can recall that cpio/tar/pax have all support for tarball format=20 auto-detection and mayor cipo/tar format support. If someone can confirm: - prefered format/supported formats [ustar] - pax/cpio/tar commands to use (options) I'll work a patch to initdiskless to test. IMHO this must be take in account. =2D May be use to expand /etc from a fresh mfs. No passwd file reachable. =2D May be use from a ro rootfs. No tmpfile use. =2D Default expand owned by root:wheel (0:0). Use mtree after. Use other= =20 file distribution systems after. =2D The actual default is /stand/cpio --extract -d [4.x] Also, guest about counterparts for tarball creation must be of interest. =2D- josemi > I think you're confusing this with /rescue/gzip, which is a very > different thing, indeed. > > Cheers, > > Tim > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
