Description am 2000-05-09 15:26:18 UTC 
The error message printed for read problems when installing
from nfs mounted CD is incorrect.

Error message example:

  error 2 reading header: Success


Fix:

In the file:  /cdrom/misc/src/anaconda/isys/uncpio.c
function:     myCpioInstallArchive()

The code:

if ((rc = getNextHeader(&fd, &ch))) {
  fprintf(stderr, _("error %d reading header: %s\n"), rc, strerror(errno));

should probably be:

if ((rc = getNextHeader(&fd, &ch))) {
  fprintf(stderr, _("error %d reading header: %s\n"), rc,
myCpioStrerror(rc));
