no, I tried tar -t /mnt/gentoo/stage3-*.tar.bz2', nothing happens (nor

In my original mail: 'tar -xvjp /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-*.tar.bz2' had to be 'tar -xvjp /mnt/gentoo/stage3-*.tar.bz2' (I downloaded the file
)
You're leaving out the 'f' flag. The command should be 'tar =xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-*.tar.bz2'. Without that flag, tar tries to read
from STDIN.
