Venus-data.tgz download

Hi, the file that downloads via the link for a blind install has a .tar extension. Not .tgz. Loading this file into the cerbo....nothing changes when I reboot. Firmware 3.00. This is the first time I am trying to load guimods.

Just downloaded venus-data.tgz from GitHub and ended up with exactly that file name.

If you place that file on the USB stick the blind install should work.
