[tlug] Using TAR

["Charles Muller" <acmuller@example.com>]

In connection with my prior font problem, as I indicated, I was hoping that
I could save some important items--such as my mail, in the event that I have
to do a reinstall. But every time I try to run TAR with my  /home/chuck
directory, it crashes halfway through with no explanation as to why.

Is it possible that TAR doesn't work if there are archive files already in
the directory? I have followed the directions for using TAR given in a
number books, and it seems like the simplest of operations, so it is hard
for me to see what is going wrong.

Regards,

Chuck
