Unzip freebsd 7.2 iso.gz

[c0mput3r]

I cannot unzip the freebsd 7.2 dvd for anything. I have downloaded it from three different places. I have used gzip, bzip2, p7zip, zcat, and tar, but I keep getting error messages. How do I unzip it so that I may burn the iso? I am running a linux box.

Could you show the error messages?

You need to get the archive and run

gzip -d <archived_iso>

Then just burn it.

I ran this command: gzip -d <archived_iso>
and it said "not in gzip format"

p7zip said "unknown suffix -- ignored"

bzip2 said "not is gzip format"

p7zip said "unknown suffix -- ignored"

bzip2 said "not is gzip format"

use: gunzip filename

What is the output if you run the 'file' command on the downloaded file?
