Opened up the Quails page - read - and ducked for cover! But thanks for the interest, Dale. 'tar xzvf' should work on the .tar.gz file. - ????? !! Strewth Paul! What do I do with that? </blockquote><div> Hello Mike, If you tell the name of the file and where you have stored it, perhaps I can help you. At the below URL you will find a good book to download that will tell you all about tarballs and compression and much more: </div><a href="http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html">http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html</a> Andre <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Yes, I've seen these things in books and mags but not in reference to anything I wanted to do at the time, so no practical experience. I have also had a half hearted look or two for a hand book or something with examples that work on the subject but to no avail. Any suggestions?
