Even if you have lots of disk, you may be cramped for getting all your
data onto a CD. Then, if you've compressed your data into an archive
and burned the archive to CD, you can get individual files/dirs out of
the archive by just naming them:
cd /lots_of_space
tar xzf /cdrom/tararchive.tgz what_you_want_to_get_back
