[CLIP3r] PeLase can anybody help me how can I unpack that? mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
[stuu] CLIP3r: tar only works on versions of mysql earlier than 2.01.15 i guess theres another command though, i'm not sure
[Apollo-] stuu: So, tar doesn't work on any tar files that have mysql in the filename?
[stuu] Apollo-: as long as the version number isn't higher than what i speacified it should be fine
[Apollo-] stuu: I see
[Apollo-] stuu: DO you have clue why tar wouldn't untar a file called mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz?
What if I just named the file that and it was really something else?
[stuu] Apollo-: it examines the binary information stored in the files boot sector
[Apollo-] stuu: the tar file has a boot sector?
[Apollo-] stuu: So, I can boot to it?
[stuu] Apollo-: oh yeah, well no tar uses it to boot
[Apollo-] stuu: Wow...you're full of knowledge, I had not clue tar had to go through a boot process to be able to work
[stuu] Apollo-: oh yeah, thats just the start
