Hi, I am new here using N900. Just got my device. I am not familiar with Linux terminology (well, I am mot a person familiar with programming languages as well, I am just typical phone user). Thus looking at some of the posts with all the terminologies really get my head spinning some times. But I am trying to learn..

Can I know in step by step how to extract the bz2 file in X terminal. I tried to follow something what qole wrote:

cd /location/to/untar
gtar xjvf /path/to/tarball.tar.bz2

but I totally don't understand the above command, such as to/untar, and what is gtar and xjvf?

Is the tarball.tar.bz2 necessary?

Sorry, it may sound stupid to the expert, but appreciate if can help.

I tried this :
cd /MyDocs/

it went to the MyDocs directory. Now if my tar.bz2 file in this directory the file name is debian-squeeze-img.tar.bz2.

I downloaded this from my PC and copy to the N900 MyDocs folder.

Note : I already have the debian chroot, debian LXDE, DEB img install already in the menu (but without the image file, which I am trying to extract)

Please help
Thanks
