[NBLUG/talk] restoring from a tar file

OK. I blew it.

Long and the short of it is I have a tar file of 7 GB on a backup drive.

I need *1* file from that tar.

I only have 5 GB free on my / filesystem.

The tar won't open, and isn't visible through any gui interface. Is this 
because I don't have sufficient memory on my / partition?

Thank you.
