Felipe,

I can't believe it was that easy. Thanks


Don't guess it will be that way for all TAR files.

General Discussion / Trying To Get Through Tar

« on: July 29, 2005, 01:37:39 pm »

Just a newbe to the world of Zaurus, but am trying to jump in with both feet. I've had my C3000 for about a week now and wanting to load some additional programs to it.

Found a few .ipk files that have loaded OK, but haven't figured out these .TAR files.

Tried -xvf .... and was told "Bad tar header, skipping. Seeing a post for gtar and zip, but these didn't work. Another post got me to: -zxvf ... and now 3 new files are in my directory.

control.tar.gz
data.tar.gz
debian-binary

I'm stuck again.

Please forward the steps to unloading a TAR file. Here is the program I copied to my Z.

zddice_1.0.0_arm.ipk.tar

Thanks a head of time for the help.
Bob
