tape backup

been backing up my stuff manually, via tar -czf /dev/st0 i was just wondering if there is a way to list whats on there.

also i have been trying to install dump on it, and the 'make' seems to get stuck in an endless loop and i have to CTRL+c to end it, i dont know why, anone else found this... on slackware...
