i understand the above, but yesterday from irc i was told by marcus(nick name), something like this:- settrans /tmp/foo.tar.gz /hurd/tarfs; cd /tmp/foo.tar.gz; ls; cp bar /tmp" Above it seems like translator is set to foo.tar.gz, which converts it to a directory, then cd into that. Which one is correct? First seems to be right for me! Arun. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo!
