Hi,
On an "old" 2 years debian install "man tar" displays an quite informative man file with an usefull example section.
The same "man tar" on suse produces a practically uselless several pages long listing of all available tar options.
I thought that tar is standard so I am expecting that the tar files are the same on various distros. How I can replace the uselless man pages with the more usefull one which I knew from debian?
tar is standard. The man page is useless because it isn't used. It even says so itself. Try reading the info page for tar instead, it contains considerably more than you ever wanted to know about tar -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
