Just use the "-z" flag for this (again, "man tar" is > your friend). Or -j to pipe through bzip2. Although I wouldn't compress the archive at all in this case, at least not when there is enough free space on the FAT32 partition. Compression only takes more time and as you usually won't keep the archive for a longer time, I'd prefer the saved time over the saved space. -- Regards, Lars -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
