Hi, - I would like to use a tar-gzip filesystem that mounts a tgz file. The=20 idea here is to browse through some large archives that are tgz. For=20 example: all RFC and internet-drafts in a tgz file, that I don't=20 necessarily want to decompress before finding the right file. I would use something like: mount -t tgz ietf.tgz /usr/home/myaccount/ietf and then could be able to do whatever I want in this mounted directory=20 without actually copying the files. - is this already done? if yes, where can I find info? - if not, any pointers on how to start programming this? - forgive me if this was discussed before. I looked in the archive, found=20 nothing.
