Man you guys give weird instructions :-)
The fastest way is to replace the "z" in tar *zvf with "I". for instance:
tar xIvf my.tar.bz2 tar tIvf my.tar.bz2 tar cIvf my.tar.bz2
go ahead and try that... it will NOT work, unless you have specified bzip2 as your compression utility... tar xvf --use-compress-program=bzip2 my.tar.bz2 should do it for you.
