<title>Installation of Tar</title>

<para>To be able to directly use bzip2 files with tar, use the tar
patch available from the LFS FTP site. This patch will add the -y option
to tar which works the same as the -z option to tar (which can be used
for gzip files).</para>

<para>Apply the patch by running the following command:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>cd src &amp;&amp;</userinput>
<userinput>patch -i ../../gnutarpatch.txt &amp;&amp;</userinput>
<userinput>cd ..</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Install Tar by running the following commands:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=$LFS/usr --disable-nls \</userinput>

<userinput>make LDFLAGS=-static &amp;&amp;</userinput>
