Yes, that's the conclusion I've come to. The think that's surprising is that I
can move the tar file with KFM, and once it's extracted I can run setup with
KFM. If only something would extract the file for me.
According to the "Requirements" section of ark (from the KDE family of
packages), GNU Tar and gzip are both utilized by ark. I can have ark open up
*.tgz and *.tar.gz files w/o a problem. But if something is only archived and
not gzip'ed, it doesn't recognize it. Strikes me as odd...
Thanks for your input!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
