Unable to install trial version on linux
Martin Thole could not unpack the IDS 9.40.UC5 Linux trial .cpi file; cpio stopped with premature end of file. Ben Thompson suggested cpio -icvdumB, and Neil Truby suspected an incomplete download and said to compare file size. Martin found the working command was cpio -ivdumB, without the c option.

I just downloaded the Informix Dynamic Server 9.40.UC5 for Linux . But we cann't install the file : IIF_9.40.UC5_linux_tl.cpi (98 MB). I think with the suffix ".cpi" it should be a cpio archive. But the cpio-command stops with: "cpio: premature end of file" [I have download the file two times, so the file is ok] How must I unpack the installation file ?

Try: cpio -icvdumB < IIF_9.40.UC5_linux_tl.cpi Ben.

How big is your download file - they're normally between 450 and 550 MBytes compressed, depending on whether you have the Java bobbins. Check the download size on the download site (was it Passport Advantage?) against the size of your file.
