If the tarball has no makefiles and other such things, which might install part of the included files, you can use: # tar xzvf tarball.tgz > tarball.log Note the `v' option, which I'm sure Alfred meant to include too. Then to uninstall, many possibilities exist, one of them being: # /bin/rm -fr `cat tarball.log` Regards, -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
