Installing Geronimo

I created a 1000 MB directory "lvolb" called "/geronimo". I downloaded geronimo-jetty6-jee5-2.0.2-bin.tar from apache.org.

I would like to install this binary and not have a disaster.

I am not sure if "tar -x file.name" will work.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Well you need:
$ gzcat geronimo-jetty6-jee5-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz | tar -xf -
Or:
$ tar -xf geronimo-jetty6-jee5-2.0.2-bin.tar

I came across this in the JBoss world...

The tar executable that is shipped is POSIX tar, not GNU tar. If you are trying to use POSIX tar to untar JBoss downloads you will encounter checksum errors.

Yes, that sounds exactly like it.
