After gunzipping the ship.db.cpio.gz file, I followed the instructions on the download page at OTN and did:

cpio -idcmv <ship.db.cpio

This failed on Gentoo i686, RH7.2 Alpha, and Windohs 2K with "Memory exhausted". According to a MetaLink article, this is due to attempting this on an "unsupported platform". A user on the forum thread suggested dropping the "c" switch, which works for me on Gentoo. i.e. use:

cpio -idmv <ship.db.cpio

I didn't see a solution for this in the archives at freelist.org, nor on Google, so I posted here.

NOW, maybe I can install 10g tonite... :)
