Hi! i have a problem for extract an archive .tar, because when write "tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz" i get the messenge: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Well, if it is a .tar and not a .tar.gz, you should use "tar -xf".
Recently I learned that tar recognizes the compression format automatically (apparently, since v1.15 released on 2004-12-20). So yeah, `tar xf' is enough for any archive, compressed or otherwise. :p
