the @LongLink file is in the current directory, so if the guy do
tar xf XXXXXX.tar.gz
mv XXXXXXX /somewhere
the @LongLink file will be lost. Another option is to use another
compression format.

Ok so even if we rename the Fusioninventory directory, this won't fix the issue.

Another option, we can put a tarball instead of the tarball and use the
fusioninventory-agent script to extract it with gtar. I think this will
be the best solution. What's the common location of gtar on HP-UX?

Thank you again

I've the feeling this will work on Solaris too :)
