This link that google found may have some good questions for you. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00967.html Perhaps the first question to ask is, "How did you get the files to your hard drive?" Did you check the media if you are using a cdr that you created? If you have an ISO image file already in place, then you could just mount the file and use the iso without first burning the iso to cdr media. mount -t iso9660 myfc5.iso /mnt -o loop However, you still need to perform a sha1sum on the cd to make sure it matches what was posted. There is a file that holds all of these for the ISO files. Use sha1sum -c sha1sum.txt These techniques help protect you from media or file corruption problems. These issues could be causing your cpio errors.
