Are you using the Midnight Commander (MC) file manager? If so the easy way is to "step into" (using MC's VFS capability - with cursor line on tarball, press enter) the tar file on one panel so you can see all the files/dirs of the tarball, and use the tarball itself as a guide as you delete related files/dirs in the other panel. MC should be required software, its that good. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
