No, but the filename has to be right after the f. The following commands work, and both have the same result: tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2 tar -jxf file.tar.bz2 -v but the following does not work as you expect: tar -jxfv file.tar.bz2 In this command tar(1) tries to extract the file "v". Example error message: $ tar -jtfv xfce-4.0.1-src.tar.bz2 tar (child): v: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: xfce-4.0.1-src.tar.bz2: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors $ Regards, Robert _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
