Untar to different location
I have a tar file where the files have been tar'd along with the location of the file i.e
/opt/abc/file.txt /opt/abc/file2.txt I am trying to untar this file on a different server where /opt/abc does not exist. How do I untar these files without the tar trying to create the structure /opt/abc?? I really need to do this without the /opt/abc location being created on my server.

You could install GNU tar from www.sunfreeware.com as that strips leading slashes form pathnames by default.
