I downloaded a screensaver since Knoppix doesn't come with 1 but I can't finish the install because it will not let me in to the dir here is the session
root@G1:~# ls
3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar.bz2 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
Desktop jap.conf
JAP xsession.knx-hdinstall.backup
root@G1:~# cd 3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar.bz2
bash: cd: 3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar.bz2: Not a directory

You can get into the archive with mindight commander:You can also do it in konqueror, or extract the archive like so:
Code:
knoppix@cold#:bzip2 -d 3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar.bz2
knoppix@cold#:tar -xf 3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar

bash: cd: 3129-kfiresaver3d-0.6-leakfix.tar: Not a directory
root@G1:~# ls

What you should do is start reading man pages, in this case:
would have told you what running the tar command actually does ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
(Unlike M$ manuals and help files the man pages in linux actually contain some useful information
)
