  1. do not remove 'cpio' and 'depmod' as 3builddistro uses them (in sandbox3).
  2. These utilities may not be adequate in the host distro:
  3. - cpio must support the '-H newc' parameter
  4. - depmod must support gzipped modules (Ubuntu Intrepid doesn't!)
  5. do not remove 'boot.msg', 'isolinux.bin' and 'makecpioinitrd' either, again
  6. 3builddistro uses them.
  7. Howto extract from a cpio archive
