Wow....that last sentence was kinda snarky. You want help right? This is not a FreeRADIUS question. This is a basic unix/linux question. Please go purchase a Linux User Manual of some sort. In the meantime, that *is* the tarball. tar = archived into a single file (ie uncompressed). bz2 means that tarball is zipped. You will almost never find an unzipped tarball on the net. They will either be gz or bz2 files. Get the file. tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 that will unzip and extract it. Again, please go get a book....if you don't understand the system, how can you install and support a service running on it? And to save some other poor list the aggravation....if you download a gz file (as opposed to bz2) the command is slightly different: tar xvzf file.tar.gz "man tar" is your friend. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
