Call me stupid, I can't find the proper command line switch to get tar to ignore the top level directory name Zope-2.3.0-linux2-86
Do I have to untar into a junk directory, then cp -r everything to my current dir?
What's wrong with:
$ cp Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86.tgz /usr/local/; cd /usr/local $ tar xzvf Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86.tgz; mv Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86 Zope-2.3.0 $ rm Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86.tgz
two steps too many ;) Just tar -xvzf the original file,no need to copy and then delete the copy. /me ducks
