Using tar saving Disk-space [was: apt-get offline]

[Joerg Johannes <liste_joerg@gmx.de>]

Hi list

Now that I can transfer my downloaded .debs in a .tar file, I wonder if
I could create this .tar file saving disk space, e.g. in the following
way

<pseudo-code>
create a tar file (touch packages.tar?)
for *.deb in this directory
   1.) add it to the tar file
   2.) rm this .deb
end
</pseudo-code>

Is this possible for (non-GNU)-tar?
How would this look for the csh?

Even better: Could this be included in the wget-script?
thanks 

joerg

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
