cpio ati drivers


Since i'm running arch linux right now, i'm unable to install the drivers for my radeon 9200, which come only in rpm format, so i used the program called rpmunpack, to create a cpio.gz file. Now how do i install the drivers??

Try "zcat drivers.cpio.gz | cpio --make-directories --extract --no-absolute-filenames --no-preserve-owner --verbose"
