Of course it's possible to zip up a partition image -- but that's not terribly useful for an installer. Or do you actually mean tar? I don't think GNU tar can deal with Hurd translators directly. It *might* be able to deal with extended attributes by now; so with the xattr-hurd patch (last tested on Linux 2.6.15) it might be possible to create and extract a tarball with translators. (It's definitely possible with star.) -antrik- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
