Hi,

if I do, in the very beginning of install:

'tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-*.tar.bz2'

*nothing* happens. The tar is not taking mem, nor cpu time if I look with
'ps -e u | grep tar'.

The system is a PI 100mhz with 32mb of ram (an IBM PC 350). I know this is
not much, and I'm not installing KDE or something,
just try to untar the file I just got with FTP, the live-cd I'm using Is the
old 'ut2K3 demo livecd'.

If I do 'tar -c archive.tar poo bar' (poo and bar created before), that
works, It creates the archive.
But when I try to do 'tar -x archive.tar', I see the same behaviour, nothing
happens.


Can somebody help me out, some hints, tips to find the actual problem?
I heard about 'strace', is that on the livecd? 

My guess is, is that my tar is broken(?!?).
