First of all you must know which file you want to extract. That you can know by # tar -ztvf <tar name> or # tar -jtvf <tar name>. It will list you all the file name and there entire path. Suppose you want to extract /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, then go to any temp folder and give the command # tar -zxvf <sample.tar.gz> etc/httpd/httpd.conf. or # tar -jxvf <sample.tar.bz2> etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Imp Note:- Dont give "/" in front of etc while extracting file, otherwise it will overwrite your existing /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Mubeen Nakade.
