b-man, try googling some introductory linux command line lessons; this one's ok: http://librenix.com/?inode=4052 One of my posts some time ago linked to a few linux newbie articles.

download the tar to your removable disk
move the tar to the root directory, if you store the tar on your removable disk for example it'll be something like:
mv /media/mmc1/NAMEOFTAR /
(be aware there is a space after mv and after NAMEOFTAR)
then
cd /
(space after cd)
then untar as I have described


When I have time I'll aim to upload this to garage and start on the todos.


Persevere, you can only learn by doing and making mistakes
