You are right, I'm sure they can handle doing a little rudimentary terminal
stuff.  I just thought I'd ask to see if there currently *is* a GUI way to
untar the file.  KFM will move it and KFM will run "setup", but it won't
extract it...

If there is no other way, we'll just do it manually.  Not a big deal, but it
appears more fancy to most rank amateurs if it can all be done GUI.

Thanks for your input!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to.  It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
