On that terminal, execute the following lines:

cd Downloads
tar xzf LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

The 'tar' man page says to use  a '-' for the main operation mode, and
options,  ' -xzf', have not tried it without the dash to see if it
works.

It also says:

A function letter need not be prefixed with ``-'',...

The preceding dash has been deprecated for at least five years if not
longer.

Thanks, good to know :-)


Seriously. I didn't know that either.
good stuff,
tony
