The z option on the tar command takes care of the unzipping. My guess is that the archive is not complete and therefore the errors. Avi Nevada wrote:

Hello, I want to explode the file tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz so I type tar xzf tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz I get the messages gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
What am I doing wrong? Thanks George -- My personal website http://www.firstnethou.com/gz/welcome.htm

George for a .gz file you must use gzip so you should be typing:
gzip -d tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz - to decompress the file then do a tar.
You can decompress and explode with one command by typing:
gzip -dc tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz | tar xzf -
Hope this helps Nevada
