How can I untar the new PGI image?

[Philphil]

The new usb version of PGI 0.73 image does not seem to untar with the
tar -zxvf command.
Is there a problem with the image or am I doing something wrong?

 

[Philphil]

PGI 0.73 Anyone??? Is nobody using the USB version of this image?
Does that mean everyone is using the flash version??

i think this is better to untar:
tar xzf filename.tar.gz

Thanks for reply. I've tried renaming it from a tbz2 extension to a tar.gz extension but this makes no difference. I cannot get my Sifteam dgs version (latest - in flash) of tar to decompress it. Error message is something like "error in tar magic."

I read that you are meant to use the command
tar -jcvf filename.tbz2 but the j option is not available in the sifteam tar command.

Do I assume that nobody who uses this site has made the USB version of PGI 0.73 work?:mecry:

i dont install usb version but try "tar xjf xxxxxxxx.tbz2
notice
if you extraxt the file ".tbz2" with program "7zip"
end give you the file "xxxxxxx.tar"

I'm afraid I still cannot create a tar.gz file from the tbz2 file.
Why on earth don't PGI supply a tar.gz file for the USB version? It would be so much simpler....

In sifteam you should have bzip2 command.
f.ex.:
bzip2 -d PGI-91-v0.7.3.USB.tbz2

will give you PGI-91-v0.7.3.USB.tar

 

[tamazgha2003]

to untar an tbz2 file it can be done like this:
tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2
or
tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2

 

[mbd]

tar xvzf pgi-9000-v0.7.3.usb.tbz2

Ok the bzip2 command gives a tar file but it still won't untar with the tar command. (Gives invalid gzip magic eroor message).I have tried all suggestions and unfortunately none work. If I boot into an E2 image (Sifteam extreme) I can't see the USB partitions properly and I only have sifteam dgs images in flash and in other usb partitions. I have tried using Winrar and 7zip in Windows also. Would it be possible for someone to create a tar.gz file as i'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem?

to untar you need to have pgi on flash. sifteam can"t untar it.

 

[Philphil]

to untar you need to have pgi on flash. sifteam can"t untar it.

Thanks that's what I suspected. How daft is that!!!
I suppose they are just promoting their own images.
