Hi all.
I recently downloaded a version of MPlayer but the archive is a type I've
never seen before.
the file name is MPlayer-1.0pre6.tar.bz2, and I've never seen the .bz2
extention. Can I
use tar to unpack this, and what options should I use, or do I need
another utility to do it?
Thanks.

Dan, The bz2 extension means that the utility "bzip2" was used instead of "gzip" to unpack it, which is a more efficient compression program. Tar recognizes it by simply using the 'j' option instead of 'z' when compressing or decompressing an archive.

Just give the -j argument, for example: tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2 HTH -- It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and over. (History repeats itself) Joseph C.
