cpio hanging, with oracle download.

[JASH_2]

Chaps,

I have downloaded the 10g version of oracle 10.1, which is in cpio.gz format. I have successfully gunzipped the files, but when I try to run cpio it just hangs. I am not very familiar with cpio, so am using the instructions given by oracle (call me stupid know).
/usr/bin/cpio -idcmv ship_rel10_hp64_ccd_Disk2.cpio

This just hangs.
Any ideas anybody? The most annoying thing is that it worked yesterday, I think, but installation went wrong so I have started from scratch.

O/S 11.11, rp3440, 4x800mhz, 16gb RAM.

Cheers,

JASH

JASH,
I don't use cpio myself, however reading man,does the syntax include a redirect?
/usr/bin/cpio -idcmv < ship_rel10_hp64_ccd_Disk2.cpio

Cheated by looking at http://www.backupcentral.com/native-backup-utils.html
