<P>The Linux manual is divided into several sections, and many users only need information from the first section (user commands). You can compress the rest of the man sections, and even store them on a removable tape to save space:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
#ls /usr/man
man1 man2 man3 man4 man5 man6 man7 man8 man9 manl mann
#tar -cvz -f /dev/nrft0 /usr/man[2-9]
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>You can then selectively extract sections of the manual or single commands as needed:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
#cd /home/manextract
#tar -xvz -f /dev/nrft0 usr/man2
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>Again, it’s sometimes safest to extract an archive in a directory created to do just this, in case any surprises occur. After the extraction, you can use the <TT>cp</TT> command to move the extracted files back into the <TT>/usr/man/man2</TT> directory:</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
#pwd
/home/manextract
#cd usr/man2
#cp * /usr/man/man2
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->

<P>Man pages obviously aren’t the only candidates for compression when disk space gets tight. By knowing where “the bodies are buried” on your system, you can often find a way to restore underutilized space. For instance, perhaps you are engaged in a project to code a sequel to Doom: Doom B. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out with the licensing, and you’re ready to put Doom B on the back burner. The following command would help you move along:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
#tar -cvz -f /dev/rft0 /projects/DoomB /home/lib/DoomB
/usr/local/DoomB_graphics,
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>This last directory, <TT>/usr/local/DoomB_graphics</TT>, contains graphics, which usually don’t compress well. However, they are often not used by many users, and can sometimes be archived until needed.</P><P><BR></P>
