Comment: Hello I'm trying to use a combination of gunzip and tar to unpack and unzip a *.tar.gz file. I tried gunzip ~/myfile.tar.gz | gtar -x This will unzip the file, but it won't unpack. Any hints? thanks a lot Dan

Reply: Cool, I've used tar but never seen "gtar" before, learned something new! Thanks! :) Did a quick search and found this site http://www.gzip.org/#faq6 says to use this: gtar xvzf file.tar.gz try that, maybe? There's another example in there too if that doesn't work for you - it uses gunzip and tar, not gtar. D.O.
