2.) "dir" is a dos command some distros will let you use it but not all use "ls"
3.) it seems strange that the directions have you use gzip and tar when tar can do both in one step.
So it seems you have the .tgz file saved in the folder "Desktop" in the user "mornblade"'s home folder you would want to do this:
Code:
[mornblade@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# cp /home/mornblade/Desktop/pavcl_linux.tgz /
[root@localhost ~]# cd /
[root@localhost ~]# tar -xvzf pavcl_linux.tgz
[root@localhost ~]#
this is based on the information you provided so it may be flawed; but this should get you from where you are to where you would be by following their directions. keep this in mind whenever you install something as root: only install it if you trust the package because it could be anything.
