Hi Jens, why do you need bzip2 on the disk?

i used a usb stick with boot-repair-cd. and it successfully repaired the broken bootloader (wrong uuid). Then i tried to restore my backup'ed files from within boot-repair-cd:
>tar xf backup-home.tar.bz2

i know bzip2 is not needed for boot-repair and i could reboot with system-resuce-cd or some other distribution, but... i think linux user expect some basic tools are working and they will be surprised if those tools do not work.

FYI, bzip2 is now included in the last version of Boot-Repair-Disk.

Can you help with this problem?
