I booted x86_64 openSUSE 13.1 HD installation to try to begin Gentoo installation, beginning from "Unpacking the stage tarball" on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Stage :
# tar xvjpf /pub/stage3-sh4-20120307.tar.bz2 --xattrs Tar (GNU tar) v1.26 reported unrecognized option '--xattrs' Searching the tar man page for 'xattrs' produced no hits, and same for bzip2 man page. I rebooted into Debian Jessie instead to try again, and the same command with Gnu tar 1.27.1 completed, apparently normally. ??? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
