hi.
"GNU `tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and
can restore individual files from the archive."
gnu tar differs from the sun version of tar that comes with solaris.
type tar --help to see which tar you have.
if you need the gnu version, you can get it from www.sunfreeware.com

Subject: getting started...the hardest part
Hi Everybody!
Just starting to teach myself MySql and databases.
I have the O'Reilly books on Perl DBI and Mysql, msql.
My question is this:
I am trying to install mysql on sparc sun solaris 2.7
machine. I found a binary version in the downloads
page of mysql.com (is is called Sun Solaris
(Sparc)[sun-soalris2.7-sparc] )
what exactly is the "GNU Tar" command? How do I
install mysql with it?
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks
everybody!
Sincerely,
Simon Chan
