I download EasyCopy but I get a much bigger file than expected, and it cannot be gunzip'ed
Some web-browsers try to be helpful and decompress .gz files automatically. Unfortunately they do remove the .gz extension, so you are left with a very confusing view, namely a compressed archive which is, maybe, 70 MB in stead of the 24 MB you expected, and gunzip even tells you that the file has a wrong format!
Your browser has most likely played this game if you experience those symptoms.
However, the problem is easily cured. Just review the installation instructions (replace product in the file name with the real name):
|
su root
cd /usr/tmp/easycopy gunzip product.tar.gz tar xvf product.tar ./install |
(you need root access for installation)
(or whereever you downloaded to) (uncompress) (extract archive) (start intallation) |
Now, that you know what the problem is, it is also easy to see what you should do in stead:
|
su root
cd /usr/tmp/easycopy mv product.tar.gz product.tar tar xvf product.tar ./install |
(you need root access for installation)
(or whereever you downloaded to) (skip uncompress, but remove extension) (extract archive) (start intallation) |
