Exercise 10: Jerralds Union Institute

The File Roller utility offers a graphical interface to allow you to quickly accomplish the task you need to. With KDE, from the programs menu choose Utilities, Archiving, and Archive Manager. Alternatively, with GNOME, choose Programs, System Tools, Archive Files. This opens the File Roller utility.

NOTE

If you do not find the Archive Files option in your menu, use YaST to install File Roller (using steps similar to those found in exercise 3).

TIP

With a basic NLD 9 installation, you don't get the System Tools option under Programs by default. To start the File Roller tool, you can also select System > Run Program, enter file-roller, and select Run.

Click New and name it LONDON. Set the Archive type to Tar Compressed with gzip, as shown in Figure 4.14.

Click New to go back to the File Roller main interface. Click Add, and expand Filesystem. In the right pane, double-click the home directory to see the entries beneath it. Click and drag the dlucas folder into the roller window and save it.

You are now ready to email it to the salesman.
