    Hi ..

    has anybody downloaded Oracle 817 (enterprise edition) for solaris from otn.oracle.com and tried to unzip the (archived) file "817solaris.cpio.gz" ?

    I tried to extract the same using the command
    >gunzip 817solaris.cpio.gz
    but doesn't succeed !!! :(

    >gunzip: 817solaris.cpioi.gz : not in gzip format
    is what I get.

    any ideas.

    Thank you,
    nk

    Did you try the downloaded file size with that of the original file size.

    You may want to try this

    mv 817solaris.cpioi.gz 817solaris.cpio
    cat 817solaris.cpio | cpio -icd

    I presume if this doesn't work, then the problem would be on the download. Try downloading the file againg and proceed with the oracle's instructions to unzip them.
