The binaries and sources that I put up on linuxcnc.org/dropbox are all tar
files. This means that they are simply a compressed set of files in
directories. All you have to do is place them in the sugested directory
and untar them. To do this I use the following command in a terminal
window.

tar xzvf "filename".tgz

You could also use the archiver if you want to work in a graphic
environment. I find it to be a nusance.

These files should not be considered any kind of official release of the
EMC. They are experimental stuff intended for the stout hearted. No
doubt that includes you by now!
