tar help

[Samuel B. Bassett]

	Simple:

	cd ~
	mkdir tmp
	cd tmp
	tar cvf GUGU.tar ..
	mv GUGU.tar <wherever>
	cd ..
	rmdir tmp

	Actually, the last parameter (directory to archive) can be
anything -- you could say:

	cd ~
	tar cvf bin.tar /bin

and it would happily tar the contents of /bin into your directory
(presuming, of course, that your quota is big enough).

:-)  So you expected TFM to be in English, and useful?  Nu?  :-)
