You got there by doing 'cd' (change directory). You have download the SlimServer_6_2_x_v2005-11-10.tar.gz file to somewhere on your system (I don't know where, but hopefully you do), so you now have to tell 'tar' where it is. So the .... bit needs to be substituted with the actualy path to that file. > I guessed I had to put the directory where the file is first, > so I moved the file to the /local/slimserver folder.Well you don't have to, > but now you have you can just type tar -xzvf SlimServer_6_2_x_v2005-11-10.tar.gz and it should unpack the SlimServer_6_2_x_v2005-11-10.tar.gz below the current directory (you remember that's /usr/local don't you?) -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18021 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
