They are files resulting from split(1). Simply cat them together: cd /; cat /cdrom/dists/foodist/foo.* | tar -xvzf - >What does this 00_trans.tbl mean? This is the table that's describing the filename mapping between the iso9660 file names (dosish 8+3) and the `Posix' file names. If the system where the CD is mounted understands the ``Rock Ridge'' extension (like FreeBSD does), you don't need to care about these files, since you're already looking at the translated names after the CD has been mounted (unless you're explicitly requesting to mount it without RR extensions). -- cheers, J"org private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
