Hello,

I just got my Nokia 770 today, I'm new in linux and I have few programs that I want to install that need to open gz/tar files.

I didn't find software or how to open this files, I hope you can help in this.

Thanks,

Yaniv.

Download osso-xterm first, fire it up and use the tar command as on any other Linux instalation.
NB: the "documents" folder is at /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

HTH,

Thanks for the answer,

I download the osso-xterm but how I can get it to work, I don't know Linux commands so if you can help in this I'll appreciate it.

I'm learning but it will take me some time to know where is everything that I need.

Best Regards,

Yaniv.

tar tvf filename.tar - to list content of .tar file
tar xvf filename.tar - to extract content of tar file
tar z{tvf,xvf} - the 'z' handle .tar.gz and .tgz files (that is, gzip-compressed .tar files)
