Considering that tar doesn't handle the device entries in /dev/*, you're probably not going to find any such image. The bin01 distribution is effectively a cpio image of the base filesystem; the etc01 and src01 distributions are also cpio images of those respective sections. Why are you not using them? They can be unpacked easily: cat bin01.* | uncompress | cpio -ocvdum in whatever directory you want the hierarchy extracted into. -- Gary Heston SCI Systems, Inc. gary@sci34hub.sci.com site admin The Chairman of the Board and the CFO speak for SCI.
