</span>Howdy,<br class="">
<br class="">
Sigh... do you already have tar in /usr/bin? See if it's found with<br class="">
<br class="">
ls -alF /usr/bin/tar<br class="">
<br class="">
(it should be a symbolic link to bsdtar).<br class="">
<br class="">
If you don't have that command let us know. If you do have the command please add the line<br class="">
<br class="">
export $PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH<br class="">
<br class="">
just after the<br class="">
<br class="">
bash<br class="">
<br class="">
command and before the<br class="">
<br class="">
umask<br class="">
<br class="">
command and see if that helps.<br class="">
