Hi, I have a folder with some rather large files eg 300MB +
I want to be able to tar up the whole folder so that I can burn them onto CD and put them onto another system. (in another city). I have read up a bit on the tar command and think that this should do the trick. tar cvfk files.tar 600000 RRBKGS* I get the following error [root@mail murr]# tar cvfk files.tar 600000 * tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option I think if I was point to a device such as a tape then it would be OK. Does anyone know how I can do what i want to do using files rather than devices to write to? Oh, the CD-RW is not on the same machine. cheers alister -- Alister Waller Roadtech Systems Ltd. 981A Victoria Road, West Ryde, NSW.
