j is for bz2
z is for gz
You need to extract it
and then untar
Or you may be able to do it in one step
z is for gz
You need to extract it
Code:
xz -d file.name.xz
Code:
tar -xvf file.name
Code:
xzcat file.name.xz | tar -xv

Both the "xz" application and "tar" with xz support are on my N900. I can't remember if I installed them myself...

To be absolutely just, it was not about reading manuals here - xz is absent from nokiabox, one need busybox-power (aka real busybox) for it to work.
Sure, OP could find it himself after not-so-much hassle, but who haven't had such "oh sh|t" moments himself?
Still, tanago's comment was out of line, *especially* having in mind, how often he asks "rolleyes" type of questions, himself.
Anyway, no good reason to argue about, right? Original question got resolved, we learned something new about case sensitivity in tar (at least me and peterleinchen), everyone is happy.
