I recently had the need to make a tar and put some files in it but i had only my nokia with those files and no access to a computer my question is, is it possible to use the tar command or is there an easier way with a gui maybe?

Share and enjoy.

You also need to install Gnutar and having Gnuzip as well should be useful too..

I got it from the garage page but it seems kindof unstable browsing to create a new archive is way to small to do anything and it crashes every so often but if you play with it you might get a package made...

"tar -cf /path/to/where/you/want/tar/file/.tar /what/you/want/to/tar/" never crashes (well, unless you mess up the command...)

Type "tar --help" for more options.
