I retrieved the Gatos drivers to allow me to do video capture with my ATI card. one of the files is km-0.2.1.tgz. I *THOUGHT* the .tgz meant that it was a gzipped tar file. So I issued the following:
tar -xvzf km-0.2.1.tgz
In return I got the following error message:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
How can I unpack the file. It shouldn't matter at all with tar, but I'm running 8.2 if you think it does.
There's a package on the CD's/DVD's that helps deal with these 'older' type of tarballs (can't remember what it's called, so you'll have to do some heavy-duty searching). But like Bruce said, tar xvf will work on it, or, just open konqueror in the directory it's at, right-click on it and choose 'extract here' (there's s couple other choices of 'extract' on the right-click menu also), it'll do everything but compile it and install it for you.

They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+z6p/H5oDXyLKXKQRAnZVAKCIikY3kFsvnKbRMtdaYK1od1iLjgCgqmIM 8NpXoZjvny+nJW8R2QBuBzA= =LxAX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
