Use bunzip2 or the syntax I when using tar. Read more in the bunzip2 manpage Per Eriksson WCT #1857 webbie@phanatic.net

bz2 is another form of file compression. A bit slower than gz, but a higher compression rate. Use Bzip2 to uncompress (should be on the CD) Just a warning, don't use it continuously on the same file (eg zipping and unzipping the same file) too many times, or it may corrupt the file.
