Hey All,
I downloaded some *.gz (midnight commander, leap database and
maxwell). I have followed the various instructions on extracting these
programs but "here's the rub"......
mc say to use this.
gzip -d <mcfile | tar -xf -
I have also tried
gzip -cd filename | tar -xf -
I always get the error invalid argument. I don't have much
experience with gzip, so can someone tell me which argument is bad? What
is the correct structure to use?
Also when I tried leap. I got error that it could not create
directory or file. For leap I tried....
gzip -cd leap-1_2.deb | tar -xO
gzip -cd leap-1_2.deb | tar -xf
gzip -cd leap-1_2.deb | tar -xF install
help a newbie please.....
Rod
