>Description:
sysinstall uses cpio to extract the tar'd release from media. While the
gnu tar can and does handle names longer than 100 characters, cpio does 
not properly read the long file names out again. Files are truncated at
the 100 char limit.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add a file to a distribution where the destination path name is longer
than 100 characters. Build a release, then use sysinstall. The file will
be truncated at the 100 character mark.

This is annoying but will be fixed just as soon as we go to a new 
media format.  I don't intend to fix it in the current system.
