dsl 74db501288 Update date - before wiz complains 2004-10-17 18:53:59 +00:00
dsl 8317fe1276 Add an option --chroot to tar. Causes it to chroot(".") before doing
an extract.  With -h this will cause existing absolute symlinks to be treated
as relative to the current directory.
Helps sysinst handle existing symlinks in the target system.
Remove 'L' from the usage (got spilt into 'h' and 'H' many moons ago)
Add 'S' to usage, and put into correct place in options list.
