See the archive list for really really in depth step by step for setting
up your sblive. The error your getting is because you need to copy the
files out of the tarball, go up one directory, tab to the other window
change to your ~/tmp directory, tab back to the other window, highlight
the directory name and punch F5 and it'll extract it into the other dir.
No do what ever yo were trying todo inside the tarball.
