Problem with Archiving .tar

[Paul]

Hello Richard.

I don't have this option in my right button menu. Have you tried to do it
manually?

In a console, type:
cd $HOME/.kde/share
tar -cvf /tmp/mytarfile.tar ./apps

later I recommend you to do a:
gzip /tmp/mytarfile.tar

just because tar doesn't compress, just packs the files together.

Hope this helps.
Paul.
