[newbie] Tar options

[Dominique Deleris]

Hello again.

Is there an option of tar, to include hidden files (the one beginning
with a dot) when creating an archive. I've lost all my netscape
bookmarks when moving from Caldera to Mandrake (they are stored in the
.netscape hidden directory.......).

Since I try a distro every 2 or 3 weeks (I like that, and I want to find
the best one ;-), I'd like to restore all my settings....

Thanks

Dominique
