I cannot get tar to work with any files at all. No matter what options I pass it, it just sits there until i kill it. Is there an error log or anything for it? Any ideas? Thanks...

Post the exact commands you issued - your statement that "it doesn't work" is not very helpful

Give us an example of what you're doing.
edit: emm... someone was faster.

for example ill do:

tar -xj file1.tar.bz2

or tar -_ _ _ file1.tar.bz2

any combonation of the letters and i get nothing, the cursor sits on a blank line under the last cmmd entered. simple as that
