Hi Michael.

Thanks for taking your time to answer to it. I don't have on my side all
the answers (except for the 8Go because of MP3 files), but you're right
at 100%. I was called after the problem, and not before, but root is a
bad idea, unless you know what you are doing, and precisely doing. 

The fact is that I found some missing files, but there will be others,
for sure. This is not the end of the problem. Thanks for your
explanation about the missing files, I am using Unix for more than 10
years (even if not Linux), and never seen that before. But if I can
remember, none of us normal engineers working in the company knew the
root password ;-)

Anyway, I will try to work on it more, and try to understand what
happened. Maybe I will have some more news from the file-roller mailing
list. I think that the "tar -xvf" command line should not has posed the
same problem, because it does not do a tar -tvf before extracting ...
thing that the GUI one does....and did !

But the real truth is : Don't use root unless you know exactly what you
are doing, and can control it.

Thanks for your time, Michael, and sorry for my poor English.

Philippe
