Tried dumping said files into a directory on the hard drive and also 
/tmp.  Tried 'tar xvf' also 'tar xzvpf' and other things.  All that 
happened was that the archives just opened up where they were.  Me 
being stupid I think :)

Where should I put said archives in order to unzip into the right 
place ?  Or, maybe a different tar or gzip command with other options 
?  Tried gzip -dc sys.tar.gz | (cd /; xvf -) and that proved to be me 
trying to be too clever when I should think more clearly.

Thanks
