If you download a tarball that's been compressed with bzip2, then you need to let tar know that it should uncompress it with bunzip2. Try: tar xfj linux-2.4.2.tar.bz2 (I don't want to see all the files scroll by on a huge tarball like the kernel. That's why I don't include the 'v'.) -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
