Note: known minor bug in this patch For the five of you or so who are still running ua and the office, I've got a small patch allowing install an installable file that is still compressed. This reduces the space necessary when you have both installable file and the unpacked contents on your disk at the same time. The above mentioned bug is that at least on my system, the size of the cpio archive is used as an estimate of the size that will be used by the unpacked files, instead of the Size entry in the archive. (the estimate is not correct when used with a compressed archive) I suppose I could have changed this back to use Size, but I was not sure that I wanted to, seems to me I remember waiting a considerable time for cpio to read in just the Size file by itself. This stuff was produced for a 3.51m system.
