Hi,
I've got a backup of all my Coherent stuff that I'd like to load
into Linux. The backup is in the Coherent cpio format on a diskette.
The trouble is that I can't load it into Linux. There's a difference
between Coherent's cpio and others because I can backup and restore
a diskette that I made only with Linux in the Linux cpio format.
I purposefully used cpio to back up my stuff because the manual said
that it's more portable than tar, however, I've never had trouble with
tar before.
I can't reinstall my backup to Coherent and used a different format
because Coherent isn't on my hard drive anymore.
Thanks in advance,
