Have you run sndconfig in a text console? if you have any questions about how
to do this let me know. also what is the error message you get when you try
to unzip it and what command are you using?
also to untar a *.tar.gz file I believe the command is (with out the quotes
of course) "tar xzf /path/to/file/to/open" where path/to/file/to/open is
changed to the correct path to the file on your computer.
to copy a file the command is "cp filename /place/to/put file
