This command should do the trick: tar xvf navigator-v408-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar If you followed the instructions from Netscape, you would have used this command to unzip and untar in one step: gzip -dc filename | tar -xvf - RTFM: http://home.netscape.com/download/install_instructions.html Eric Wayte Database Administrator University of Central Florida ewayte@mail.ucf.edu >>> ira miller <iramiller@pbsltd.com> 2/4/99 09:35:47 >>> Hello, Sorry to bother everyone again, but I have followed the instructions in the man pages and can't get this to work. I downloaded netscape navigator standalone, the file name is: navigator-v408-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar It was also with a .gz, but I was able to unzip that with the gunzip utility, following the instructions. Now I have the tar file, and I've been trying the following: Eco1# tar -x navigator-v408-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar It responds with : Tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured. Can anyone help? I finally got my freebsd box on the network, I can ftp and telnet and ping, but I'd like to actually load a program or two on the machine also. :-) Thanks, Ira Miller To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
