2015-05-02 Thread Alexey Eromenko

No idea about GNU cpio. Is it compatible with BSD cpio ? I can't easily introduce new dependency for portable code. (host-side must be very portable code) It will require investigation. Besides, this command didn't work for me. (preseed.cfg wasn't added) On Sun, May 3, 2015 at 1:36 AM, Ben Hutchi
