+Although it's not strictly a part of a basic LFS system it's worth
+mentioning that you can download a patch for Tar which enables the tar
+program to compress and uncompress using bzip2/bunzip2 easily. With a
+plain tar you'll have to use constructions like bzcat file.tar.bz|tar
+xv or tar --use-compress-prog=bunzip2 -xvf file.tar.bz2 to use bzip2 and
+bunzip2 with tar. This patch gives you the -y option so you can unpack a
+Bzip2 archive with tar xvfy file.tar.bz2. Applying this patch will be
+mentioned later on when you re-install the Tar package.
