the above command is incorrect.  the last hyphen is extraneous. 
(it tells tar to try and extract a file named '-' from the
archive.  but it does all the work of reading, and looks like
it's doing something, and if you miss or ignore the error
message, you won't realize anything's wrong until you figure out
that the reason you can't boot the card is because nothing has
been written to it.  i'll never make that mistake three times
again.  :-)   (btw, it's in README.txt too.)
