Hello All

I am a complete noobie with unix. Think the last commands used were ipconfig in windows machine and load"" in zx spectrum:)

I am tryng to build a home media server with freenas. Just get stucked in installing PS3 Media Server in freenas.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1605&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=140

the guys in freenas forum have help me alot, but it seems to me that these basic questions I have are mor quikly solved here.

basically I need using ssh to:
1 - create the "folder" /var/PMS?
2 - move tgz file from the share folder (with the xp macjine) to the one create in step 1? is the cd command?
3 - the command to extract tarball is pkg_add?

any help would be depply appreciated! thanks in advance
 
1.
Code: 
# mkdir -p /var/PMS

2. Not quite sure what you mean, but if you want to move a file from one directory to another, do this:
Code: 
# mv <fromdirectory/filename> <todirectory>

3. To extract a tarball, use tar:
Code: 
# tar -xf <name of tarball>
If the tarball is a FreeBSD package, pkg_add will both extract it and install the program. (But I can't see any FreeBSD package for freenas in /usr/ports.)
