Tar: extract write error

2007-12-25 11:02:00

Hey all,

thanx to all who replied. I had a couple people suggest that the disk might

be full but there was still a good two gigs left. clifford turned in the

winning answer (below). use gnu tar. compiled/installed it and everything

worked w/o a hitch. god I love gnu. B)

thanx

ej
