Thanks to all who replied... It turns out it's not the tar command I'm having problem with. The jdk.tar file is corrupted along with a few other files. The FSCH didn't recover completely from a crash:( So, once I investigate how to scan the hard drive for integrity, then I will re-install. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Ashish Kulkarni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 1:15 PM To: Lambert, Stephen : CO IR; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tar try tar --help ;) actually try using tar tf jdk.tar or if it is gzipped, tar tfz jdk.tar.gz ----- Original Message ----- From: Lambert, Stephen : CO IR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 11:33 PM Subject: Tar | What tar command lists out the contents of jdk.tar without extracting or | compressing the tar file? | Thanks. | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | with a subject of "unsubscribe".
