<para>Although it's not strictly a part of a basic LFS system it's worth
mentioning that a patch for Tar can be downloaded which enables the tar
program to compress and uncompress using bzip2/bunzip2 easily. With a

plain tar, you have to use constructions like
<userinput>bzcat file.tar.bz | tar -xv</userinput> or
<userinput>tar --use-compress-prog=bunzip2 -xvf file.tar.bz2</userinput>
to use bzip2 and bunzip2 with tar. This patch provides the
<userinput>-j</userinput> option so you can unpack a bzip2'ed archive
with <userinput>tar -xvfj file.tar.bz2</userinput>. Applying this patch
will be mentioned later on when the Tar package is installed.</para>
