With `tar -x' by itself tar defaults to looking at the hard drive rather than the neomail tarball. Try: # tar -xzvf neomail-1.20.tar.gz instead. The -z handles the gzip *.gz un-compression, and the -f point tar at the tarball (file). gary kline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
