Hi Neal, I can understand your frustration.
You do not give any details of the distribution you are using or the filename, so this info is general only. I presume you are using a GUI such as KDE running under X. If you use Konqueror as your file manager, left clicking on the filename should open the compressed file. Alternatively run ark. It may be in the menu as Archiver, or in a terminal or miniterm (press alt-F2) type 'ark'. If the file is a zip file (*.zip) you will need to have the zip and unzip packages installed. Hope this helps , Barry ------------------------- Neal Sales wrote: > > How the hell do you "unpack" a downloaded file .
