1 I booted x86_64 openSUSE 13.1 HD installation to try to begin Gentoo
2 installation, beginning from "Unpacking the stage tarball" on

5 # tar xvjpf /pub/stage3-sh4-20120307.tar.bz2 --xattrs

7 Tar (GNU tar) v1.26 reported
8
9 unrecognized option '--xattrs'

11 Searching the tar man page for 'xattrs' produced no hits, and same for bzip2
12 man page. I rebooted into Debian Jessie instead to try again, and the same
13 command with Gnu tar 1.27.1 completed, apparently normally. ???
