what should i use to install or extract .tar gz?
thnx
tar zxvf file.tar.gz
tar zxvf file.tgz
tar xvf file.tar
tar
z = zipped archive
x = xtract
v = verbose
f = file
t = test
so you could do a
tar tzf file.tar.gz
to see what files are in a tar (zip)
or of its not a zip
tar tf file.tar
There is also bz2
tar jxvf file.tar.bz2

If you're not running OS2008, you might want to reflash.
If you are running OS2008, it's preinstalled, in the menu.
