Good morning I have a problem with the install bz2 on KNOPIX because I was downloading file with Internet in format .*bz2 ( This is compressed file ). My algorithm on the installation file: 1. I get to downloaded file [cd ~] -> [cd Desktop] (Yes, sucesses) 2. Command: tar xvjf file.bz2 not working but bzcat -d file.bz2 working. When I typing bzcat -d file.bz2 in terminal show content file file.bz2 3. cd file ( not working ) error: No such files or directory 4. ./configure ( not working ) Please, help me P.S I have instruction with other post forum linuxquestions but not working. p.S 2 I would like to install OpenMosix Damian form Poland. I greet! :-)

If you download a file MyFile.bz2 you cannot be sure to have a compressed tar archive. There are many other file formats. I would suggest that you decompress your file and issue the file command.

bzip2 -d MyFile.bz2
file MyFile
