Sorry if this has already been answered, I was just overcome with the
mention of 'as many floppies as you can find'.
zcat file.?? | tar -xf -
if it's a single archive
cat file.?? | gunzip | tar -xf -
if it's multiple.
Make sure you put it in the correct directory, some of them are relative
paths (check with tar -tvf). It worked fine for me on 2.0.5-R, after only
installing the bin files.
