Quick question about TGZ

[Kooldino]

Ok, I have a file (an image file of freedos) that i need to magically turn into a TGZ. With things installed standard in RH9, can I do it in one swift move? How?

As far as I know a tgz is just a shortened name for tar.gz (ie a gzipped tarball). On the command line you should be able to do

tar -zcvf tarball_name.tgz file1 file2 ...

z - tells it you are using gzip compression
c - creating an archive
v - verbose
f - filename that you want to call the file

In Gnome there is a graphical tool called File Roller, but if I remember correctly you are using KDE. So you probably have a different on installed, but I don't know what it is called.
