How do I extract the contents of a file with the .tar.Z or .tar.gz extension?
There are two methods you can use to extract the contents of a file. You can type: /usr/um/gnu/bin/gunzip filename.tar.Z tar -xvf filename.tar or you can type: /usr/um/gnu/bin/zcat filename.tar.Z | tar -xvf – The second method is more advantageous because you do not need to have space to store both the .tar.Z and the .tar files.
