Unpacking TARs

[Lacan]

hi all. sorry , but i have an stupid question :)
i always used ARK for unpacking archives, but now its not working, for some strange reason "subprocess could not be started" :p now..... how can i "Unpack" this glibc-2.2.4.tar.gz file from the console? it was something like tar -xvz glibc-2.2.4.tar.gz :)

thanks.

Very close. One of the many ways to do it, would be.

tar zxvf glibc-2.2.4.tar.gz

z is for gz
x is for tar

The '-' hyphen is not necessary.
