You are correctly using the "j" flag to call bzip2 to decompress the file before untaring it. The error seems to indicate that bzip2 is not installed on your system. Solution: install it! apt-get install bzip2 Cheers, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test3-looxt93c1 i686 GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
