I was of the impression that tar would do
man tar lists:
-L, --tape-length N
change tapes after writing N*1024 bytes
Unfortunately it seems it is not able to work together with 'z'
(compress) option. If you type:
tar cf test.tar -L 20 documents/
tar will create a first archive named test.tar, then stop requestin
You can make one big archive and then use the split command(split -b
700m filename). You can then use cat to put them back together.

If i do a command like this

it will find the file in an early directory, but then keep looking.
Since i know there is only one home/huff/a/home.htm, is there any way to

Developement should be the minimum install for Linux, in my book, in spite
of the requirements.

At the LILO prompt specify the amount of RAM. BTW, how did you get
164MB RAM on your machine? 128+32=160. Maybe, you don't have 164MB
RAM

I got a nice answer a while back on this same issue - saved text follows:

To check what Linux detected, use the command 'free'. The output will
look like:
I am a REAL newbie. I just installed Mandrake 7.1 last night. I have a
couple of questions. First, my system has 164Mb of RAM but Mandrake only
reports 64. During the install I tried to over-ride this and entered the
correct amount of RAM, but it still only reports 64Mb. How can I fix this,

Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately, my printer ran out of ink.
I'll have to write this out in long hand.
Cheers!

You can download the manual which should answer any questions on the subject.

Quite simple .. Tar is an app that gets many people. Got me to until I
finally figured it out :)
Say you want to tar and zip up /www/ .. All you have to do is cd to /.
Then, under linux run:
tar -zcvf all_archive.tgz www
z -> gzip compression
c -> create archive
v -> v
Hi, I've tried looking at the tar man page, but still cant get any joy with
tar.
I have a directory called archive, with numerous subdirectories. I want to
save all these files as a single file called all_archive, while preserving
the dirctory structure and permissions, and then finally compress
Try tar -cvfM /dev/fd0 /home/user/[location of files].

I'm trying to create a multiple volume backup onto floppy discs.
Using konsole, when in root I change to the directory that contains the
files I want to archive (I'd read you had to run tar from the directory
where the files are). I then type in the following command:
tar -cMv /dev/fd0 /home/us

direct question.
What is the command line to extract and untar a file at once?
