thanks...
but I am unable to extract them within the device. On my desktop (cygwin) tar -xvjf works, and from X terminal on my n800, it doesn't! any clue(s) why?
thank you
If it's a bzip file, just do:
gnutar jxvf /path/to/file.tar.bz2

nope:
$ sudo gainroot
# tar -xf /media/mmc1/My\ downloads/freeciv.tar.bz2
tar: invalid tar magic
the same result if for all the other files.
as user, it's not better:
$ tar -xf /media/mmc1/My\ downloads/freeciv.tar.bz2
tar: invalid tar magic
even better:
tar -xvjf /media/mmc1/My\ downloads/freeciv.tar.bz2
tar: invalid option -- j
I always thought that the -j means a bzip2 archive!!!
help please!

I did say to get gnutar and use that instead. You also need bzip2 (available from the same repo)

I apologize. I didn't use that method of installation. I just did a "make DESTDIR=...," then copied that directory to / on my N810.

thanks to all.
gnutar worked.
gnutar worked.
sudo gainroot
cd /
tar -xf /path/to/package.tar.bz2
and it worked for me. Are you running as root?
