Linux Install help: can't uncompress the bz2 file

[Horta]

What program do I need to uncompress the file?

I have downloaded ts2_server_rc1.tar.bz2 and made sure to preserve the bz2 extension but I can't uncompress the file.

Neither gunzip or tar seem to recognize the file format!

What you need is bzip2.

If you want to use it with tar, use the j switch in stead of z (tar xjvf blah.tar.bz2)

If your tar does not support bzip2 just do "bunzip2 blah.tar.bz2" and then "tar -xvf blah.tar"

bzip2 comes with almost every modern linux distro, but is oufcourse also downloadable as source. Use Google.
