Unpacking the InfiniPath tar File
After downloading the InfiniPath 2.2 tar file, type:
$ tar zxvf
In this command, xxx is the distribution identifier (RHEL4 or SLES10), and yyy is the platform architecture, x86_64. The tar command creates a directory based on the tar file name and places the RPMs and other files in this directory.
