Uncompressing .zip file specific directory Fedora 14
Hello,

I have Fedora 14 installed on my machine I have a .zip file ( some latex package) which I want to unzip to some location in the Latex paths /usr/share.../texmf/..

so I went to super user mode, created the directory for this package over there,

Code:
[root@username latex] mkdir logo

and tried unzipping the .zip file to that directory , but it gives me this warning

Code:
[root@username latex]# gunzip /home/username/Downloads/logo.zip logo/
gzip: /home/username/Downloads/logo.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored
gzip: logo/ is a directory -- ignored

Then I checked up the options and gave -S .zip also but it still gives this error :

Code:
[root@username latex]# gunzip -S .zip /home/username/Downloads/logo.zip gzip: /home/username/Downloads/logo.zip has more than one entry -- unchanged

Then I moved to the destination directory, and tried this :
Code:
[root@username logo]# gunzip -S .zip /home/username/Downloads/logo.zip gzip:

Now it gives some junk output. Could someone help me out ?
