Hmm, I didn't realize that dotpets were just tar.gz files. I tried using tar -x with nothing happening. I then tried changing the file name from *.pet to *.tar.gz. Again, no go. Thoughts?

changing the file extension to .tar.gz should work, unless the file is corrupted (actually, a .pet file has an md5sum tacked on the end of the file, which tar might complain about, but it should not cause any problems)
using the z tar option should work whether you rename the file or not:
tar xzf littlepolish07_linux_i686.pet
packages, whether rpm or deb or pup or pet, are not much different from an ordinary zip or tar.gz file ... a package is mostly an archive of files conveniently compressed in one file
i usually make a new dir, like /tmp/1/ in which to uncompress the files
