Shamshul_Bahri : 18/09/02 07:50 AM : Incident created -   i am in the process of installing SPlus 6 for Linux. I've tried to read and unzip the files in the cdrom with this command "cat /mnt/cdrom/linux/splus.tz | uncompress | tar xvf - " but got the error message like this "bash :uncompress : command not found". How can I rectify the problem? Thanks for the help.
