penquins grub boot loader

[diablo1]

Im trying to follow this article "SDB:Animated penguin GRUB splash screen" that i couldnt post the URL


when i get towards the bottom to compress the archive back I Type in as root (below) from the article

# ls . | cpio -o > message’

and i get back

# ls . | cpio -o > message’
cpio: File message’ grew, 283648 new bytes not copied
1424 blocks

this doesnt look correct to me is it? what am i missing or screwing up?

Thanks

Is it because of the ' after message?

[diablo1]

and got the same kind of error
