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. What gives with SuSE? Is ther some secret? Information in the 6.3 manual is nonexistant. I guess since this utility is so old and so common everyone who uses Unix\Linux is supposed to be born with all of the knowledge necessary to operate it. Anyway, if someone would be so kind as to inform me how to untar this file I would be gratefull.
