xfce anyone?

[Jared Pedroza]

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/d/depmod.html explains the DEPMOD 
command.

tmpfs is the temporary file system, not sure why it is not supported.

To untar a file use the following commands:

File type example- myfile.tar.gz
Type gunzip myfile.tar.gz
Then trpe tar -xvf myfile.tar

This will place the files in a directory, usualy named after the file 
(ie myfile). cd into that directory and have fun.
