Make sure that your lab notes answer the Investigation 1 question.
==Investigation 2: How do you create an archive file?==
#Change your working directory to <code>/usr/share/doc/sudo*</code>
#Use the tar (tape archiver) command to create an archive file named <code>/tmp/archive1.tar</code>
Don't miss the . at the end of the next command! It specifies what should go into the archive: the contents of the current directory.
tar cvf /tmp/archive1.tar .
What do the options c, v, and f mean?
3. Record the archive file size.
4. Compress the file using gzip:
gzip /tmp/archive1.tar
5. Record the archive file size after compression.
6. Make sure you're still in /usr/share/doc/bash-3.2 and then create a compressed archive:
tar cvzf /tmp/archive2.tgz .
What does the z option do?
7. Compare the sizes of /tmp/archive1.tar.gz and /tmp/archive2.tgz. Why are they so close in size?
