Hmmm. The normal distribution of communicator comes as a .tar.gz file. So a couple of ways to uncompress it is... For the paranoid expand the communi* tar -xvzf communi* zcat communi* | tar -xvf - gunzip communi*;tar -xvf communi* That is a few of the ways. Make sure that you are in a subdirectory for the files, otherwise directories get full very quickly. Once expanded there should be a ns-install script that you can run. Have fun! Matt
