If not the move will actually rename the 'apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar.gz' file to 'tomcat' and put it in the usr/local directory Updated: Maybe that it what you intended looking at the directory structure in the next section. In that case should the 'tar xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar.gz' be 'tar tomcat' instead?
