tar zxvf won't work with Redhat generated compressed tar file

[Bertrand Caplet]

Hey there,

It's not working because you're trying to decompress a tar + gzip
archive with tar zxvf but it's just a gzip archive.

If you first make a tar + gzip archive with :

tar xcvf archive.tar.gz your-files

and then :

tar zxvf archive.tar.gz

It will be ok :-)
