That was on OpenBSD, but usually the GNU tools are more powerful than the BSD ones. Are you sure you've got disk space for the operation? Also, does the filesystem you're putting the tarball on support large files? FAT32, for example, only supports a max file size of 2GB. --Todd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
