I don't understand why the following doesn't work:
tar -xzfv opera-7.51-20040602.1-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz
Use "tar -xzvf opera-7.51-20040602.1-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz"
^^^^What follows the "f" is the name of the file to process. Anything following that are the contents of the tar file to extract.
gives:
tar (child): v: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: opera-7.51-20040602.1-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
what am i doing wrong, please?
the manual page on tar doesn't help much..
thanks,
