I have a 2 GB bz2 archive that unzips to over 10 GB (wikipedia dump). Although I have over 50 GB free in /home, / has only about 8 GB free. Thus, as tar uses /tmp, the / filesystem fills up and I cannot continue. How can I specify a tmp directory for tar in my home directory? Note that man tar makes no mention of a tmp option. Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/ http://what-is-what.com/
