Re: [eug-lug]a stupid Gentoo Sparc question

[Jim K]

To rule out archetectural problems ( big-endian vs. little-endian ) try 
bunzip2 on an Intel machine if you can't do it on a sparc.   I know that 
mac and intel 86 use the opposite endian fromats of the other.  Which 
would ensure between the two having one that is the right format.
 I am not sure if bunzip2 or the file linux filesystems will correctly 
change between the 2 formats or if you need to keep track.  Is the sparc 
32 or 64 bit?

Hope this does not reveal how dumb I am.

I downloaded a Gentoo Sparc file which is a compressed ISO

It is <not the specific name, but the suffix is>

Gentoo-Sparc64.iso.bz2

How do I uncompress it to Gentoo-Sparc64.iso so I can burn it to a CD, 
then boot from it on my Sparc Workstation.

Thanks,

Rodney

P.S. I tried to uncompress the .iso.bz2 file on my Mac under OS X with 
the "Stuffit" utility, but it hangs up.
