It didn't say which version of tar. Solaris tar doesn't accept the same flags as GNU tar (e.g. it doesn't come with builtin support for zip and bzip2, or at least it didn't last time I looked at it)

And it's great for backing up to your mag tape stands. ;-)
That's what the 'mt' command is for and that's why opensuse (as of 12.2) has it, and that's why its included with the CPIO package and not the TAR package. Makes perfect sense, doens't it? That's why you lug the mag tape stand around along with your laptop. Do recall that the cpio package is needed by, lets see ... cpio is needed by (installed) gfxboot-4.5.0-2.1.2.i586 cpio is needed by (installed) file-roller-3.4.2-2.2.1.i586 cpio is needed by (installed) aaa_base-12.2-2.14.1.i586 cpio is needed by (installed) plymouth-scripts-0.8.6.1-1.19.1.i586 cpio is needed by (installed) mkinitrd-2.7.1-62.9.1.i586 so lets take those out since we don't need 'mt'. Taking TAR out is easy, after all it is *only* needed by yast2-installation-2.22.10-1.1.4.noarch -- If a better system is thine, impart it; if not, make use of mine. - Horace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
