Hi,
How do you get bzip2 to compress directories?
* All the files in a dir? ( you cannot compress the directory itself).
Try: find dir -type f -print | xargs bzip2 -v or find dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 bzip2 -v or cd dir; bzip2 *
Do you want to Package all the files into a tar or cpio archive so you can send it to someone else?
