Benjamin, This depends on which version of Mandrake you are using. If you run Mandrake 7.2, the command would be 'tar -xvIf filename.tar.bz2' (without the quotes). If you run earlier versions of Mandrake, they may not support doing it as one step, so the commands would be 'bunzip2 filename.tar.bz2; tar -xvf filename.tar' (without the quotes). With some earlier versions of Mandrake, you could run 'tar -xyvf filename.tar.bz2' and it would work in one step. Finally in 8.x, you'd use 'tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2' (without the quotes). So, as far as uncompressing it, it all depends on which version of Mandrake you are trying to do it on.
