Re: tar: Skipping to next header file

[dpk <dpk@egr.msu.edu>]

Try using tar -zxvf linux-2.0.33.tgz.  If you get that error again, it means
that the file is corrupted and you will have to download the source again.
All the kernel sources I download come with a tar.gz extension... I get them
usually from kernel.org or sunsite.  Did someone else package that for you?
