download GNU tar and the bzip from my website

http://penguinbait.com/tar.gz

http://penguinbait.com/bzip2.gz

place them in your path

for example, copy or move them into /usr/bin

You may also need to link bzip2 to bunzip2

ln -s /usr/bin/bzip2 /usr/bin/bunzip2

I am not sure why the j option is not working, but following this it should?
