if it ends in tar than
tar xvf Nvi...tar

if it end in bz2
than first bunzip2 Nv..tar.bz2
than see above

if it ends in gz
tan firt gunzip Nv...tar.gz
than see above


ps it good also be that the download didn't went right. If you do a ls -l you see how big the file is

you might also be having a global problem

try tar -xvf ./NV*.tar

sometimes you have to specifically tell the system that something is in the current directory

Out the 100Base-T, though the router, down the OC3,
over the leased-line, off the bridge, past the firewall...
nothin but Net

It shouldn't be a problem in this case. But if this behaviour anoys you than just add ./ to your $PATH
