Most subsets are just compressed tar files, so
cat SUBSET | uncompress | tar tvf -
will give you a listing of the contents. Then, replace the
tar tvf -
with an extract command ('tar xpvf - FILE') to extract a specific
file.
The ROOT subset however seems to be in 'dump' format. Use 'restore'
to extract from this file.
Also, I think making the subsets compressed is a relatively new
feature, so do a 'file' on the subset first to make sure it's
compressed.
