| Can enyone explain how to do this properly? I download files to install
manualy and the extracter unpacks them to who knows were. Do I have to
cut and paste make files to a terminal window? Any suggestions on
reading up on how to do this for newbies like me?
URL'S for tutorials would be great.

"Extracter?"
Given "blah.tar.gz" or "blah.tgz" using Gnu tar:
tar tzf blah.tgz
will list its contents.
tar xzf blah.tgz
will extract. ALWAYS do tzf before xzf, as it might have absolute
paths (/bin/blah as opposed to ./bin/blah). If it was compressed with
bzip, you'll want to use "J" as well. "man tar"
Jar files: don't know, don't care.
