<div dir="ltr">To extract a .bz2, you'll need to add a 'j' in the tar options: tar -xjvf 29207-aasaver-0.3.2.tar.bz2 Cheers, Frode <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 1:59 PM, Mark M Lambert <<a href="mailto:mark%2Blinux.ubuntu@marklambert.net">mark+linux.ubuntu@marklambert.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> On Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:50:37 +0930, "Dale" <<a href="mailto:quail.linux@gmail.com">quail.linux@gmail.com</a>> said: > Hi, > > it is explained on this page if you took the time to read it. > > <a href="http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KDE+Asciiquarium?content=29207&PHPSESSID=78551e6732845c0cc0ff47d4ebe89120" target="_blank">http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KDE+Asciiquarium?content=29207&PHPSESSID=78551e6732845c0cc0ff47d4ebe89120</a> > > Regards Dale > </div>I took time to read that page, and no Dale, it does not answer Peter's question about how to extract the archive. So for Peter, make sure you are in the directory that has the archive file, then command you need to extract it is: tar -xvf 29207-aasaver-0.3.2.tar.bz2 .. then follow the directions on the page that Dale linked to. Peter, you will find that you use the tar command quite a bit if you are extracting archives (at the command line), so it is a good idea to make a note of it somewhere. I use Tomboy for keeping notes of handy shell commands, not sure what the KDE equivalent is. Cheers Mark </blockquote></div> </div>
