# cd /mnt/target # lzma d rootfs.gz -so | cpio -id # rm rootfs.gz init
but "lzma d rootfs.gz -so | cpio -id" will lead cpio trying to overwrite files in / and not to write files in /mnt/target, as usual if i'm not wrong. i got it working installing the real cpio (tazpkg get-install cpio) and changing "lzma d rootfs.gz -so | cpio -id" in "lzma d rootfs.gz -so | cpio -id --no-absolute-filenames". i don't know how to do this with busybox's cpio. should the doc get corrected?
I said "overwrite file in /" , not in /mnt/target. But the fault was mine, i did not use an iso's rootfs but the one of my liveusb created with tazusb, because i did not want to loose the work i've done in my liveusb. Thanks for your "kind" reply
Hi ernia, good job !!! I also never had the idear that the problem with cpio comes from the "wrong" rootfs.gz. I would mention this in the HDD Install Tutorial.
