I was stupid enough to install Suse 8, that seems to be either a tateless joke or Mandrake very cunning marketing plot, and I have experienced nothing but pain since then.
At the moment I would like to get tar xfIv foo.tar.bz2
I have been deprecated for a long time, use tar xfjv instead.
- or - tar xfzv bar.tar.gz
to work, but no. No, I have to
gunzip -c foo.tar.gz | tar xfv -
Weird. tar xfzv works fine here, can you show me what it says?
Oh dear. Silly me. Too hasty sometimes :-) I had a bad CD-ROM drive that caused me trouble with .gz files and since "tar xfIv" is trule depreceted, "tar xfjv" works fine. Thanks for correcting my silly accusations. Shame, shame and brown paper bag for a month... --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-( M$-Outlook: Experience a new virus every day! - Koe uusi virus joka päivä!
