yes, but it is the only solution that i've found because cpio is not in 
klibc-utils
and it frees ~80k on bootfloppy because we do not use all klibc commands

If it would

i send a patch to put cpio in klibc but maks said there were license 
incompatibility. and it works on recode cpio in BSD license
so i think we have to wait.
i want to see if the 80k freed will be useful for 2.6.18 because we will 
have to build a klibc-utils-bootfloppy udeb then
