Re: tar to different directory



I expect this guy is the winner. Thanks Ted...

Some of the other ideas were winners too, but everyone doesn't
have star (for example) lying about already.

From "man chroot" on Solaris 9:

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the chroot utility.

The chroot utility provides an easy way to extract tar files
(see tar(1)) written with absolute filenames to a different
location:

example# cp /usr/sbin/static/tar /tmp
example# dd if=/dev/nrst0 | chroot /tmp tar xvf -

Note that tar is statically linked, so it is not necessary
to copy any shared libraries to the newroot filesystem.
