Sounds familiar. On a low memory machine bzip2 will use more memory than
is available. On my 486 with 4mb ram it takes about six hours to install
an addon. 95% of that time is consumed by unzipping (and untarring) the
addon. Even starting X doesn't take that long.
I don't think there's anything you can do about it, except do the
untarring by hand, from DOS. Or buy more memory. Sorry.
All the best, Mark
