Hi all,

this is going to sound like a dumb question, but believe it or not, I have
never done this before..

I want to create .tar.gz files...

to create a tar, I use tar -cvvf foo.tar foo/  to tar the foo directory
(taken long ago from the readme)

if I want to make that a tar.gz file, I assume I have another step?? tar
alone doesn't seem to compress alot...

so I would do what???

tar -cvvf foo.tar foo/ && gunzip?????

Ta,


rgds
