Nothing else. No configure needed. Just run make. Then when you run make install it will place all the goodies into /opt/schily and you can run star or cdrecord or whatever from there. To extract any archive : star -x -v file=foo.tar If the thing is compressed use : star -x -v -z file=foo.tar.gz or star -x -v -bz file=foo.tar.bz2 If you want you can enforce overwrite and a fifo buffer and other cool little features like retaining the uid/gid from the tarball : star -x -v -xdir -xdot -U -fs=32m -fifostats -time file=foo.tar The man page is 100 pages long. :-\ dc -- -- http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x1D936C72FA35B44B +-------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Dennis Clarke | Solaris and Linux and Open Source | | dclarke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Respect for open standards. | +-------------------------+-----------------------------------+
