Hi Rahul,

If it is with .tgz extension, you can use this command,

# tar -xvf |gunzip -

For zip files,
#/opt/java1.4/bin/jar -xvf

Hi,

You can use windows winzip itself to unzip them. If this does not help I would recommend to check the checksum for downloaded file to be certain that the file has no coppution before unzipping.

Hi,

In both cases you have to use gunzip.
If the download had problems, the command may not work. I'd recommend you not to download files, but better to download a shell (the last option) and by this shall to download all patches.

Check this:

file
cksum

before doing tar action.

Using .tgz file,

# gunzip filename.tgz
# tar -xvf filename.tar

Using .zip file,

# unzip filename.zip

Shalom Rahul,

Often downloads from hp's patch database terminate prior to completed download. If you think everything else is good, try the download again. Watch it and make sure it gets to a number that is close to the estimate HP gave prior to the download.

This one often gets me.

Hi Rahul,

To unzip it: gunzip file.tgz
That should create file.tar

To unzip and untar inline: gzip -dc file.tgz - | tar xf -
That will leave file.tgz unchanged but its contents will be untarred.
