Posted February 2, 200619 yr Anyone know how to extract tar.gz files on Ubuntu? I've tried their irc chat but theyre assholes thx
February 3, 200619 yr theres a winzip for linux called linzip which opens alomost any type of file including tar fiels. http://library.n0i.net/linux-unix/administration/nlm/part1/zip.html
February 3, 200619 yr http://rarlabs.com/download.htm ftw. this topic got solved pretty quick tho lol
February 3, 200619 yr Author http://rarlabs.com/download.htm ftw. this topic got solved pretty quick tho lol tried winrar, the damn file to install it is in tar.gz on the linzip thing, it says ; zip -r zipname path so it would be zip -r /root/home/ ? then zip -r myzip mywork zip -r filename.tar.gz ? sorry but i'm a newb at linux
February 3, 200619 yr do you want to unizp it or zip it? that commadn is to zip it but since you want the files from the tar.gz file which is really just a compressed file for all of the other files that it is holding, you have to type in the command unzip tar.gz. if you want all of the commands then type in info zip as it says on the site. YOu should have went with windows if you weer a noob at linux anyway or maybe read up on it before installing. what are you using linux for anyway since it proabbly isn't hacking seeing your experience with it

February 7, 200619 yr Why the fuck are you installing other shit, type "man tar" to see how to use the tar command tar xvfz filename.tar.gz x = extract f = retain permissions v = verbose (can be omitted) z = gzipped (for .bz2, use j instead of z)
