I booted x86_64 openSUSE 13.1 HD installation to try to begin Gentoo
installation, beginning from "Unpacking the stage tarball" on
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Stage :

        # tar xvjpf /pub/stage3-sh4-20120307.tar.bz2 --xattrs

Tar (GNU tar) v1.26 reported

        unrecognized option '--xattrs'

Searching the tar man page for 'xattrs' produced no hits, and same for bzip2
man page. I rebooted into Debian Jessie instead to try again, and the same
command with Gnu tar 1.27.1 completed, apparently normally. ???
