The two commands in question are: > tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 > tar xvif filename.tar.bz2 Another, Since you're using Kmail, I'll asume you're usin KDE. R-Click on the .bz2 file and choose to open with Karchiver. This will then let you choose a directory to extract the files to. Presto! Any kind of archive, even Windoze zips, automagically ;) Otherwise if you want to use the CL, I suggest you see 'man tar', 'cause the 'i' switch in one of the two commands you're contemplating will: -i, --ignore-zeros ignore blocks of zeros in archive (normally mean EOF) while the 'j' switch will: -j, --bzip filter the archive through bzip2 which is what I reckon you want to do Benjamin -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
