Where to find 'bunzip2' ? 'X11R6'

Where to find 'bunzip2' ? 'X11R6'

[Dimitre Karpuzov]

Hello:
I installed 'cygwin' and try to install now 'Xfree86' but the
installatuion, according to the Guidelines require 
'bunzip2' to unzip the bz2 file and all files of 'X11R6'. For some reason
the latter are not present at the mirror site and it is quite an
inconvenience.
Thanks for your help,
Dimitre

Fortunately for you, the Cygwin site is adding conveniences all the time 
for you.  Check out "setup.exe Package Listing" and you'll find a complete
list of packages that setup.exe can install for you.  Once you've seen 
this list, you should be well equipped to install the appropriate packages
for all the features you'll ever want... well maybe not all you'll ever 
want but certainly bzip2/bunzip2. ;-)

Dimitre,

If you're dealing with Bzip2-compressed TAR files, then just use the "j" 
compression option with TAR. Otherwise, the bzip2 package (i.e., bzip2, 
bunzip2 and bzip2recover) _is_ included in Cygwin. It is in the "Utils" 
installer category.

Do a full installation--things go more smoothly all around if you do.
