Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you get the "tar" file on the Tivo HD that lets you execute the tar command? I believe the file goes in the /bin directory on the Zippered Tivo. I noticed I do have a gzip file in there but no tar. Thanks very much. :o

tar is found in /busybox
if your tar command is not working I bet your path is messed up.
from bash do an echo $PATH
report the findings here.

Indeed it is! I found it in /busybox as you said. I got confused because I thought it had to be in the /var directory since that was where I was using the tar command. One more thing, I'm now running Vista and telnet is acting weird, any suggestions on tweaks I might need? Thanks gunny!

I imagine you would still need to unset crlf
but I am on a mac.
