try "tar xIf name.tar.bz2" or  "bzip2 -cd name.tar.bz2 | tar xf -"

bzcat (not sure about exact name) is also useful: pipe the output to tar
and you can leave the original .tar.bz2 zipped up.

tar xIf file.tar.bz2 will `bunzip2' and untar your files. The `I' is
for bzip2 compression. So you can say

tar cIf ... (to create a bzip2 compressed tar file)
tar tIf ... (to list its content)
tar xIf ... (to extract its content)

Just unzip and untar it with tar:
tar xIf x.tar.bz2
 ^
If you only want to unzip it, if this is of any need,
bunzip2 x.tar.bz2

unzipping tar.bz2 files

2000-08-19 Thread John Anderson 
I downloaded the kernel source through dselect, but I can't seem to unzip
the kernel source because it has  a tar.bz2 ending.  How does someone
unzip this type of file?
