Hello!

I have a 80G tar archive which I have nowhere to
extract to. Could I mount it as a filesystem?
Read-only would suffice.

Andrew,

Short of that solution, why not tar -t to get a list of files in the archive, then you can tar -x the files you actually want.

You ought to be able to:
tar -t foo.tar > list.txt
edit list.txt
cat list.txt | xargs tar -x foo.tar
