Hi! I am writing a script that would be nice to be able to run with only the root partition mounted, and it works fine except that I find no way to read .gz compressed files without e.g /usr/bin/zcat.
So my questions are: is there a program in /sbin:/bin that can decompress .gz compressed files? Or should there be? Would it not be nice to be able to untar e.g base43.tgz from single user mode without having to mount /usr? Info: cpio, tar and pax are in /bin but they all rely on an external zcat program. -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
