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,
I hope this is not a dumb answer!
$bunzip2 Gentoo-Sparc64.iso.bz2

Hmm, do you have bunzip2? That'd be all you need. bunzip2
'filename.bz2'

You need a bzip2 program. On most unix I think a simple bunzip2
filename.bz2 will do the trick.

I'm not sure what platform/environment you're working in (only mentioned
OS X), but if you have access to bzip (use 'bunzip2' or 'bzip2 -d') you
should be able to do it. Try the man pages for the full story...
You might want to first look for a file.md5 or file.md5sum to see if

Rodney,
The .bz2 extention means that its bzipped. simply bzip2 -d filename should
leave you with a burnable iso image.

open a terminal window and use
bunzip2 Gentoo-Sparc64.iso.bz2
in the directory the iso is in
You will then need to cp the iso file into the directory for a blank cd
and use finder's menu option
to burn the cd

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
Thanks Ralph, Jim, et. al. for the advice.
I found bunzip2 command on the Mac OS X and it uncompressed successfully.
I am ready to burn it to CD.
Whoever suggested that I move the file back to X86 should be shot.
I have dealt with big-endian /little-endian issues before. All you need
to know
