try 'man tar', but to get you started you need the -f flag to specify a file. eg. tar -xvf <file> You can add the -z flag to make it uncompress at the same time. You could also try 'zcat <file> | tar -xvf -' which should do the same thing. - lachlan arvids wrote: > Dear Sirs, > I just took an administration of FreeBSD based system from another admin. > There seems to be a problem.
