bz2 files are bzipped archives. bz2 is often used
as it has a very good compression ratio. Normally mandrake 6 has bzip2
installed. just try to type bzip2 at a command line and it should pop up with an
error message saying it can't output to a terminal. If it doesn't, have a look
at the cdrom in the /mandrake/rpms directory. you should find it there and
install it using kpackage for example. If you can't find it on the cd, have a
look at www.linuxberg.com, it's tucows
for linux ;o)
