i used the bzip command below and that gives me a straight .tar file but

any ideas what i might be doing wrong. i also have a

on how i use a bin file? i'm just starting to learn how to use the file 
system and sometimes i still get totally lost.

I have not followed this discussion, but if you have a tar.gz file and you 
unzip it first, then you don't need the 'tar xvzf' command, but just the 
'tar xvf' command (since it is just a .tar file)
To unpack a tar.gz in one command you could use 'tar xvzf'
See 'man tar' for more information.

Concerning this java sdk .bin-file:
This is a shell script, which automatically extracts the files for you, so 
try chmod to 755 and then execute it.

In my experience no.  Windows uses a vfat32 disk

  Hi!
  Is it possible to access linux shared files from

It is possible though.
There is a program called explore2fs, which can be found at 
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
Obviously, this is experimental software, so use at own risk :-)
