my apologies for beating this to death and i do appreciate your help...i have never had to do this. but i am making an effort to learn
what is the man page?

Manual page, try typing 'man tar'.

this is what i downloaded: stable.tar.gz
then there was also this: MD5; do you know the difference?

stable.tar.gz.MD5 contains a MD5 checksum to verify that stable.tar.gz is not corrupt. To check if stable.tar.gz is corrpt type 'md5sum -c stable.tar.gz.MD5', this should output 'stable.tar.gz: OK' if the file is OK.

you said:
tar -zxvf module_name.tar.gz
would i type: tar -zxvf stable.tar.gz and run this?

Yes.

thanks for the help...
