Installing software from CD

RE: Installing software from CD
Hi Raion,

Thanks for that. I managed to figure out how to copy the CD and put everything in a directory called Framemaker, in my user folder, just to keep it together.

Now for the embarrassing bit. I can't believe I am going to say this, but can you explain what to do next, nice and simple, like you are talking to a Mac user. (Yes I know, Unix for dumb-dumbs)

I double clicked on the install.tar, as a Mac user would, and it seems to open a window showing the contents of the .tar. About a dozen .install/ files with various names after the /.

How do I unpack the .tar?

Sorry to be a complete noob.

Thanks,
Jason.
