Hi all!

Don't laugh!

When upgrading I'm supposed to overwrite the current files of my ez-instalation (except for the overridefiles etc). I really don't know how to untar a Exponential-3.x.x INTO the directory where the ezfiles currently are.

How is this done?

If you have access to shell use Midnight Commander to unpack your files. Enter to Exponential-3.x.x archive and press F5

shell>mc

Hi Felix,

If don't have access to mc, this should do the trick:

tar xvfz Exponential-3.4.4.tar.gz --strip-path=1 -C <current-ezp-dir>/
