Go get bunzip2, and either patch gnu tar with the patch on the web page,
or do

bunzip2 -c linux-2.1.105.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

If you patched tar, it's like this, which is functionally the same (tar
internally opens a pipe to read from bunzip2 itself)

tar Ixvf linux-2.1.105.tar.bz2

There, try that!
