- At least some versions of the root disk have a non-GNU tar, which does
- not understand the z option (for working with .tar.Z type files). Try
- using a pipeline with zcat and tar:
-
- zcat < /dev/fd0 | tar tvf -
-
- (the above should print out the contents of the rawritten compressed
- tar in the first floppy drive).
