How about using pax? find . -depth -print | pax -wd | gzip > archive.tgz or find . -depth -print | pax -wd | bzip2 > archive.tbz By the way, in reference to the commands above the -j option is for bzip2, so the extension should be .tbz o_O Chris _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
