Re: question re installing gtk themes

["Jose M Celorio" <chema celorio com>]

Joseph:
    The files you downloaded are "tared" and "gzipped".

    A file that ends in ".gz" is compressed or "gzipped" so you will
have to uncompress it first with :
"gunzip -d whatever_file_you_want_to_decompress_.tar.gz"

after uncompressing it you will no longer have a ".tar.gz" file
you will only have a ".tar" file, is the same file but not compressed.

To view the contents of the ".tar" file you can type :
"tar -tvf whatever_file_you_want_to_view_the_contents.tar"

To extract or "untar" the contents of that file you should type :
"tar -xvf whatever_file_you_want_to_untarr.tar"

Make sure you do it in the right directory !
So place the ".tar.gz" in the directory that you want
the files to end up.
