Could someone give me a detailed instructions on to install Tar.gz files.
Thanks
tar.gz files are a compressed collection of files. You can extract them with: tar zxvf <filename> and it will be extracted into the current directory. Now, if you are asking how to install software in a tar.gz file, that might include more steps. This is especially true if you are trying to install a program from a source code tarball. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
