Michael, This depends on how you want to use the tar files. You can tar and then use split. Tony. -Original Message- From: Michael Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] tar CD Does anyone have a one liner

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. Michael Adams wrote: Does anyone have a one liner that will tar.bz to CD sized volumes. TIA
