expanding compressed files to where?

[dkreifus]

I did an unattended install. To my dissapointment, many files didn't expand for some dumb reason.

ie: remote desktop.

So I want to go through the i386 folder and manually expand the files. How do I know where the files go?

ie: the *.dl_ files, *.ch_, *.ex_, etc....

Any help?

ignore the post below i've seen to late that this was not what you wanted to know...

Hi,

You can specify to the expand command where the expanded files should go:

expand -r *.dl_ c:\expanded

will expand all the *.dl_ files to the folder c:\expanded with their original filename restored.

Bye, Egon
