[NTLUG:Discuss] tar [question]

[Shel Johnson]

When running the tar -xvf or tar -xzvf commands, is it a
good idea to do this in the directory of the program that I
want to upgrade?.. Here's an example: I have Netscape 4.74
and want to upgrade to 4.75.. Do I download the tar.gz to
/netscape then tar -xzvf it there?.. or can I download the
tar.gz to any directory I choose??...
