Re: New on sources.redhat.com: cpio-2.4.2

["Tim Prince" <tprince at computer dot org>]

As you have been told already, such inquiries are not particularly
welcome on this list.  If you are a newcomer, spare yourself the pain of
doing things the old ways required by NT, and use a normal
W98-FAT32/W2K-NTFS/linux scheme.  There are differences among the dual
boot installations of the various linux, and you certainly should ask
about those in the appropriate places.
