Grr. grrr. and rg. I'm trying to create tar files less than 100Mb to fit on zip disks (by the way, my rebate arrived last week, only a year and a half & a class action suit late).
As I read the man page and info page, tar -zcv -f hawktar980603 . -X News -X www -X Office40 should tar the local directory to the new file hawktar980603 save for the directories News, www, and Office40 however, it cheerfully includes all of these. I get the same results with an --exclude-from exfiles, where exfiles lists these? am I missing somethign? rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
