This is better.
In an earlier message, you said that extracting using tar(1) through an
error. Perhaps this utility is not installed or your path to the program
in not in your environment. Here are a few tips to try to find out:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Enter env on the commandline and look for the PATH entry.
Remeber this.
3. enter tar --help on the commandline. This should give you some
help on how to use tar or throw a not found error.
4. If the latter in 3, enter rpm -qa tar\* on the commandline. This
will tell you if the utility is installed. Output should look
something like this: tar-1.14-4
5. If the rpm is installed then you have to find where it is
located, so enter which -a tar on the commandline. The result
should be either /bin/tar or /usr/bin/tar. You could also try
the find command as follows: find / -name tar which will take
some time to complete but will find the tool.
You might also try looking in your menu for a tool called filemanager.
This should be part of Nautilus and will do the same thing as suggested
with Konquerer but with less of a learning curve.
Good luck.
