Subject: [SLE] Tar!
Hi!
The other day I downloaded a driver from oss for my soundcard. I used
the command gunzip oss* | tar xvh. All I got was the oss*.tar file.
When I tried to untar this file with the command tar xvh oss* and hit
enter the cursor moved one line down and sat there blinking at me.
I have used tar with other linux distributions and with Free BSD and the
above command works.
