i used the bzip command below and that gives me a straight .tar file but when i try to 
tar -zxvf that it says "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format". any ideas what i might be 
doing wrong. i also have a j2sdk-1_3_0_02-linux.bin file which i got from somewhere 
elese, any ideas on how i use a bin file? i'm just starting to learn how to use the 
file system and sometimes i still get totally lost.

.. for instance , when i go to the list of packages are there a HUUUGE amount of 
packages installed but they don't appear on the menus or run when i type in the 
program name at the command line? how do i just start a prog from a menu browser (like 
to say run an .exe in windose from file manager when there is no icon/menu entry)?
