The cpio command is a copy command designed to copy files into and out of a cpio or tar archive,
automatically preserving permissions, times, and ownership of files and
subdirectories.

When I create a new linux virtual system and use OpenWRT at home to route out to the internet, I need to add a default route so that I can get out to the Internet.  For some versions of linux, it doesn't do it automatically for me (or maybe it's the OpenWRT router and something I've misconfigured as it works for some systems, but not others?).   The command to do this is:

1. Copy the drupal and module files to the web server.

2. Unzip (using tar) the main drupal file.

3. Unzip the modules.
