TAR

[071]

Hello,

I would like to tar the contents of a CD to my /opt directory. I tried the following but it included the CD path as well ?

tar -cvf foobar.tar /cdrom/cdrom0



Cheers,

Go to /cdrom/cdrom0 and enter the command:

tar -cvf /opt/foobar.tar *

If there are . files like .example, you will need to declare them individually. So the command would be

tar -cvf /opt/foobar.tar .example *
