tar -cvf ../root.tar.gz * not . that sohould do the trik - the problem is that there is no . available while unpacking root.tar.gz so it fails when packed to ./ . If you compar the output from the original root.tar.gz to yours you will see the one shows bin/ the other ./bin/ (thats the problem) hofrat -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/
