Thanks John..Alex...and Ron..for taking the time to help....
I ran the trick without the z and I renamed the file from
tar.gz to .html , I am not sure which did it, but I opened midnight
commander and noticed a folder had been created...one of the two
procedures worked.
The grokking the gimp book opens nicely and is quite a good
piece of work, I can't wait to read it through.
This 29+meg file was the one I was worried about as another
three hour download was not a pleasant thought 8-). I will try the
smaller files tomorrow.
thanks again for the pointers, as always I learned something new.
