Hello, Does any one know how to do "tar" without dumping existing symbolic links ? I am trying to install an application over the top of another application. The two share some common direcories and there is a symbolic link (e.g., fileA->/usr/dirB). When I install application #1, it created /usr/dirB and a link to fileA. When I install application #2, a few files should be added to /usr/dirB and the link should be kept. Oddly enough, this is true on Solaris and AIX, I found it not the case when using "tar -xvf" on linux. The link is always lost and I can seem to put files from both applications in the same directory. Does any one know how to fix this ? Many thanks, N. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
