Re: [CentOS] tar and gunzip help

HI All,

I have a directory tree that when the user un-gzips/untars it does into /opt by default.

The directory tree is like:

ugui | |-- <misc files> |-- source |-----framework |------ <misc files>

so when unzipped I want to end it with /opt/ugui and all the stuff below it.

How do I do this? Can I also issue one command that will unzip and untar the archive at the same time? (I know I can, I just cant get it right)

Thanks! -ML _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Do you mean to say that the filenames within the tar archive(s) are hard-coded all the way from "/" down?
