Live cd helpwith running tar???
 
Hi

I'm using the live cd of debain6.0.4 I cant run any tar commands e,g tar xvjf filename. it returns bzip2 cannot exec no such filename.
I have tried sudo /bin/tar xvjf /route to filename, still same error

If I run tar --version it returns tar (gnu tar) 1.23 even man tar returns the help.

Any ideas. Yes I do want to use tar

Seems that there is no bzip2 on that live disc. If you have internet connection just do
Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install bzip2

and it should work.
