Wow, i didn't expect that to happen so soon. Here is the tar command pipe... tar cf - <parent of offending directory> \ | bzip2 -9 >> foul-name.tbz2 ...tar will send the output on stdout (-f -) of tarball (-c) of the parent directory of the offending directory name. Bzip2 will then compress the tar output (given on the stdout) to the fullest extent (-9) possible. Tar'ed & compressed output will then be stored in file named 'foul-named.tbz2'. If the size of foul-named.tbz2 is ~30 kB, send me this file as email attachment. Otherwise, please allow me to download it via FTP or HTTP. In all case, please keep the size less than a MB or so. - Parv -- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
