None of the archivers in use (tar, cpio, pax) can handle the large minor numbers used by some devices in /dev, which is why the installer remakes everything after it's unpacked it. Note also that your /etc/sysconfig will be out of sync with the /etc/rc* files because it's automagically generated by the installer. > Yup, /.cshrc is the culprit.
