1.1rc2 tinycore.gz

When I extract tinycore.gz per remastering instructions
zcat /mnt/hda/boot/tinycore.gz | cpio -i -H newc -d

I get:
cpio: premature end of file

I've verified the md5sum for my 1.1rc2 iso. This error doesn't happen with 1.1rc1. Has anyone else seen this?

EDIT: This only happened when booting 1.1rc1 and trying to extract 1.1rc2. Booting from 1.1rc2 and extracting 1.1rc2 works fine, so it is more a curiosity than a bug.

Thanks,
Daniel

roberts:
Change in cpio version. See Change Log above.

mikshaw:
Is that an older version of cpio in Busybox?  Or maybe there was some change made to the Busybox version besides trimming? I tried extracting tinycore.gz in another distro using the latest GNU version of cpio, and got the same result as Daniel:

--- Code: ---# zcat /mnt/test/boot/tinycore.gz | cpio -H newc -i -d --no-absolute-filenames -v
...
sbin/mkfs.ext2
sbin/mkfs.ext3
cpio: sbin/mke2fs linked to sbin/mkfs.ext3
cpio: sbin/mke2fs linked to sbin/mkfs.ext2
sbin/mke2fs
cpio: premature end of file
--- End code ---
Maybe something to do with hard links.

As with Daniel, this is more from curiosity than anything else.

danielibarnes:
Yes, I experienced that with Debian 4. It uses cpio version 2.6, which dates back to Dec 2004. Ubuntu and Debian 5 use 2.9, so they will probably work.

tobiaus:
more importantly, are the instructions in the wiki still accurate?
