Well, I started out being really excited. Within seconds I had the index
of my 2.6gb home.tgz scrolling down my screen. But it looks like it will
only extract about 1.2gb this way, and unfortunately, as I now know, the
stuff I need is at the end :/
The command I used is:
mtype c:/linux/home.tgz | gunzip > home.tar
This was after I noticed
mtype c:/linux/home.tgz | tar -zxvf - home/darxus
didn't restore everything.
