Re: Filename.tar.gz

Hi,

first make sure gunzip is installed. To do so, do:
apt-get install gzip

Then you can do:
tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz

It is an archive in whioch all files are put after each other (one big
tarred file for tapes). Then that one big file is gzipped.

Alternatively you can do:
gunzip filename.tar.gz

this unzips the tar archive.

Then:
tar -xvf filename.tar

but this methot is not practical.

Greetz,
