I want to burn an iso image with a .bz2 extension (the

I only have windows xp.
I tried the 'bsdtar' tool, but, whilst it decompresses
the file, it
doesn't leave an iso image which I can then burn.
What do I do?
Thanks
IMHO, the proper way to do what you need to do is with GNU tools.
Go to http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ and download the GNU Unix tools
for Windows.
Use bunzip2.exe to decompress the archive. If you know the md5sum, you
can also use md5sum.exe to check your archive too. There is no file.exe
however, so I don't know how you can determine what kind of file it is
that you end up with. If you need help using the tools, there is a
man.exe, but there aren't any pages for it to read. Instead, use the
--help switch to get an idea of how to use each tool.
IIRC Service Pack 2 provides TAB-autocompletion for Windows XP. If you
have that and if you throw all those tools into your path, it'll be the
next best thing to being at a real computer.
