Two quick questions. 1. I want to tell Tar to just grab a single directory and all the directories and files below it and keep the atributes, permissions, path's, etc intact. I've read the man file, but its not making much sence. 2. I was looking around for ways to trim some fat one one of our machine and I have a question. I saw the X11R6 directory under /usr and I was wonder if it's ok to kill that since we don't have and don't want Xwindows or anything but basic console access to the machine? Also, is there any other directories in the /usr slice that I can ditch or RM in order to snag some extra space? Thanks.
