Problem with decompression .tar.gz

[Andrew Mathenge]

Hi Gaby,

Seems that there's a problem extracting that file under Linux. Check out
this link:

*https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks*

There's a note there for the Asus Eee 1005HA but the problem is similar to
what you're seeing.

A couple of things you have to do. First, install the backports. For your
system (Jaunty 9.04), you'll do something like this:

*sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty*

Once that's done, follow the instructions for the Eee PC in the link above.
In that example, the user decompressed the file using the 7za package. To
get 7za you need to install the *p7zip-full* package.

Then there's a change to be made to one of the source files.

Let me know if that link above helps.

Andrew.
