What twaddle. What tripe.
[summer@emu summer]$ locate /*bz*rpm
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/bzip2-0.1pl2-1.i386.rpm
/u03/5.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/bzip2-0.9.0b-2.i386.rpm
/u03/incoming/starbuck/pub/linux/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/starbuck/i386/RedHat/RPMS/bzip2-0.9.0b-3.i386.rpm
What's that on my RH 5.1 CD?
What's that in my RH 5.2 download directoru?
What's that in my RH 5.9 download directory?
tar has an option to specify an alternative compression program: I've not
