Hi all, I am tring to avoid backing up all of my browser files and such when I do a backup. But -X excludefile doesn't seem to work. In this file, I have ~/netscape/cache ~/netscape/nmmail etc and I have also tried these entries with terminating '/' and even '/*' but these directories keep getting tar'ed. What am I doing wrong? jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org To Microsoft: "Your tyranny I was part of, is now cracking on every side.
