 Hi All,
I have downloaded Oracle 9i Release 1 for Intel Lunix (Redhat 8). Now I am trying to extract the first Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz file and getting following error.

$ gunzip Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz

gunzip: Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz: not in gzip format

Can you please let me know what is the problem here?

Thank you for your help.

Anil.

Hi Anil,
I had this problem with my installation also. Looks like some browsers uncompress the files but leave the extension
the same (gz) when downloading.

If gunzip does not work then leave it and try directly following command without changing the filename
E.g. "cpio -idmv <Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz"

Hope this works for you.

Regards,

hi anil

Directions to extract the files
1. Run "gunzip <filename>" on all the files.
Eg. gunzip ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio.gz
2. Extract the cpio archives with the command "cpio -idmv < <filename>"
Eg. cpio -idmv < ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio
