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
