.tar is the standard extension for a TAR-file, see http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html or 'man tar' .gz is the extension for GNU-zip, see http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/gzip.html or 'man gzip' a file that ends in .tar.gz is a zipped-tar-file... so, you have to first unZIP it, and then unTAR it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
