Say what? On Linux, gunzip untars gz files, as do several other archiving apps. What's the problem? If necessary, do it in two steps. First, unzip to decompress. Then untar. After that, install what comes out of the tarball, which should be a bunch of associated RPMs (unless you're using Debian packages). On Windows, rpm files won't do you any good, so you might need a different tarball (which can be opened by Winzip, WinRAR or any of several other apps), and again, install what comes out of the Windows-oriented archive. Or am I misreading what's being said here? Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
