I am using the KDE desktop and would like to know how do use install tar files from the gui. I want to install a program. Thanks. What would be the reasoning that one of my harddrives isn't showing up on the computer even though I formatted it for the home directories as a logical drive.
Open a the terminal window and use: tar -xvf /location/of/file/you/want/to/untar Not 100% sure about this one but you need to make sure it is mounted, check your /etc/fstab and make sure it is in there. If not use the mount command to mount it where you want e.g. "mount /dev/hdc /my/mount/location" or "mount -t type device dir" You can also use the df -h command to view your harddrives file system and mount layout.
