Hey guys,

Let me start with an apology, being a moderator of a car forum myself, I know how painful newb posts are. But believe me, I wouldn't ask the following questions if I hadn't spent quite a bit of time trying to find the answers myself.

Firstly, I've downloaded some files from the archive on the first page of this thread: http://depot.javispedro.com/nit/64/

I have the tar.gz file mupen64plus-n900gui-20100627, which I have stored under /n900/. I have moved it between there and /n900/Documents/ in an effort to extract it via various commands in Xterminal. with no luck. I have Gzip installed on my N900.

I have searched Maemo.org and many other places for the correct commands (for example. "tar zxvf filename.tar.gz"), but all of them end up with the error "tar: can't open 'mupen64plus-n900gui-20100627l.tar.gz': No such file or directory". This is regardless of where I place the file using file manager. I am new to Linix, and am familiar with DOS commands, but as mentioned Linux is all new to me.

So, at the risk of angering IzzehO , perhaps someone could give me a bit of a hand? Also perhaps explain how the filing system on the N900 (mountiing, etc); or just a link.

I have read this thread start to finish and have a good handle on the errors with mupen64plus, so my problem is sort of outside this.

Regards, Tim
