you have to create a primary partition like on a hard disk, I use fdisk. This is my 4GB sd card from the akita: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 3 1000 1826340 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdb2 1001 1500 915000 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 1501 2080 1061400 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 2081 2182 186660 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partitions 2 and 3 are formatted with ext3. Now just cd to the location where the partition is mounted e.g. `cd /mnt/sdb2' and, as root, execute `tar xjf <some_place>/random-01a116b9-image-akita.tar.bz2' There is nothing more to it.
