.gz file extraction

how do you extract a .gz file in a terminal?

**bryansmith** · 11-27-2006

Try:

Code:

gunzip -d <gunzip file>

k...I try that and i get this error:

gunzip: UT2004-LNX-Demo3334.run.gz: unexpected end of file

Does that mean i have a corrupted file?

From the error message, it would appear so. I would re download that file and try again.

I know about .run files. In Fact i prefure them over rpm's. I though it was a run compressed in a .gz file. but i did try that and all i get is "error cannot open package" in the file roller program. I tried the terminal too and got a message that said the same thing.

Then maybe you do have corrupted files in you download or burn. Try downloading again if that does not work I can send you a copy of my disk that has worked for me now for almost three years.
