1. I backed up an old system and i made the mistake of using absolute paths. I now want to extract from this tar ball into my newer system. I want to extract individual files and want to place them in an 'extraction' directory. Can i do it? How? (if i get it wrong i could write over existing files)
2. Speaking Volumes:-) What number of 1k blocks will fit on a 1.44Mb DOS floppy? (I dont know where to read the available space. I can see usage with 'df' or in konq, but not free space.) Do you create the volumed tarball direct to floppy's or on the hard drive first? What number of blocks would fit on a UDP? formatted CD-RW disk? tar -- Michael
