in reply to Archive:Tar appears to store absolute pathnames as relative pathnames
yea this is what also tar does.
i.e. if you compress /home/users/you/dir/
you will have home/users/you/dir
unpacking it to / is the receiver choice. you can't force him to unpack on /
UPDATE: ok, it looks like you can, on tar you must use -P, and it won't unpack to / if you don't also use -P when unpack
