gnutar and .tbz .tgz
Authored by: WillyT on Apr 07, '02 01:24:14AM

If I have ANY trouble with a tarball that Stuffit has touched I put it in my home directory first and gnutar -xzfv tarballname. If this doesn't work (ie its a binary for OS X or it needs installed in root) then I move it to / and sudo gnutar -xzfv tarballname.
Very good for installing man pages that want to go in X11.
