voidmain:
If you gunzipped the file you now have just a tar file. Use:

tar -xvf filename.tar

if it is gzipped use:

tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz

i explained a bit here on how to install most formats.

voidmain:
Yes, it's been answered at least 10 times since I've been here. We really need to get started on that FAQ! And it might be good to list the above as the "base"/"preferred" method, but also list other ways it can be done using Konqueror file manager etc...

Thanks all for the replies.  I'll see what I can find at B&N and check for the other titles mentioned.  

Creedon... I didn't see your personal e-mail address in your profile.  The e-mail addy that I check the most is "*****" feel free to contact me there, and I'll be more than happy to buy you a couple of beers at one of the local taverns.  Are you familiar with the Dewittshire near the Le Moyne College campus?  I spend lots of evenings there :)  Or, anywhere else in the general area you prefer.  Let me know.

Edited... as per recommendation, e-mail address deleted and pm sent.
