Anyone have any experience creating .ext2 images?
I think I can clarify this for you, ext2 is not a file extension, its simply what file system the disk image is using, changing it will not do anything at all, It will still be a disk image formated as ext2.

As for the .bz2 file, these are archives, you can make a new image (dd on linux, run a livecd in Virtualbox) and then extract the bz2 file into it.
