[comp.unix.xenix] Can't create directory

davidsen@steinmetz.ge.com (William E. Davidsen Jr) (11/22/88)

Thanks to several people who told me that cpio uses /bin/mkdir to create
directories. NOT mkdir, but /bin/mkdir, so don't bother using PATH.
Anyway, if I can find something to delete from the boot floppy I will
add mkdir, otherwise I'll continue to use dump/restore because it has
the code built in (or at any rate runs).

It's nice to find a simple explanation even if there's no simple solution.
