Hi Ryan, Do you need a GUI (graphic interface)? If so, I like using Ark, as Paul pointed out; It is really simple and support a large array of archive types. If not, using the tar command on a shell can be faster.
To do so: tar -cjf archive.tar.bz2 <path/to/be/included> Creates a bzip2 archive tar -xjf archive.tar.bz2 -C <destination/path> Extracts from the archive If you change the j parameter to z (i.e. tar -czf), you will use the gzip program. For zip files, emerge zip and unzip. Since bzip2 is much better than zip, I rarely use it and don't know how to use it on the shell. 2005/5/27, Paul Kain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Ark ? > > > > > On 5/27/05, Ryan Viljoen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > > > I am looking for a compression program that covers creating and > > extracting archives including .zip , .tar , .tar.gz , .tar.bz2 etc. I > > am using fluxbox with rox. > > > > Thanks > > Rav > > > > -- > > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > > > > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
