You can extract the files like this: $ tar xvfj rhel-rg-en-4.tbz You'll see the names of the files as they are extracted.
(the "$" above represents the shell prompt - the command you type starts with "tar")

tar xjvf rhel-rg-en-4.tbz
You haven't tried it the other way, have you Scott ;-)

Not in ages! In fact it was probably about when I first started in Linux, around RH 7.2 or so (ah the good ol' days!) Even then, I probably just read that in a book. Come to think of it, I don't think I've touched more than 1 .bz file in the last year. Thanks Paul
