gzip -dc mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.7-installer.tar.gz | tar -xvf - Note the trailing ``-''. The -f option to tar(1) means "the next item is a filename". Specifying ``-'' means use stdin. In fact, tar(1) can gunzip files itself: tar -zxvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.7-installer.tar.gz -- Software is like sex, it's better when it's free -Linus Torvalds
