| - | I can't believe you're not plyaing with me--that was so helpful. | + | ====== How to extract gzipped and bzipped files (.tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2.) ====== |
| + | |||
| + | GNU tar supports the -z and -j flags, which allows extraction of compressed files without a pipeline: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>tar -xvzf archivefile.tar.gz</code> | ||
| + | <code>tar -xvjf archivefile.tar.bz2</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | Inside the DSM-G600 you can't use those flags, so there you must use a pipeline: | ||
| + | <code>gunzip -c archivefile.tar.gz | /mnt/HD_a2/tar -xvf -</code> | ||
| + | <code>/mnt/HD_a2/bzip2 -dc archivefile.tar.bz2 | /mnt/HD_a2/tar -xvf -</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | [bzip2 can be obtained [[http://dns323.kood.org/downloads/bzip2-1.0.3.tar.bz2|here]]. It's a bzip2 archive, so you'll obviously want to extract it //before// you install it onto the DSM-G600 8-).] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | In windows you can use various applications to extract tar.bz2 files: | ||
| + | * [[http://www.7-zip.org/|7Zip]] (GUI based free extractor) | ||
| + | * [[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm|bzip2]]+[[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm|tar]] for windows | ||
| + | * [[http://cgpgroup.com/index.asp?PgToLd=WBZIP2|wbzip2]] with GUI | ||
