The versions that Fedora carries should be able to understand this without the need for the z (or j or x). I found this on the list some time ago (one year?). So if the file is compressed with gzip "tar tvf xxx.tar.gz" should work as tar recognises the compression used. -- José Abílio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
