When I d/l a file I do a tar -xvzf file.name and it untars in the home directory of the user i have logged in with. Fine. but when I try to untar it to say /home/untarred it won't. get a message saying /home/untarred not found in archive. I tried tar -xvzf file.name /home/untarred and /home/untarred/ and tar -xvz file.name /home/untarred and > /home/untarred and said is a directory. how do I untar something to a specific location or can't I . Yes i read man tar but did not get it from that. thanks md To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
