I suspect that Deep just forgot to mention that he took the image after installing SSH.
Or assumed we knew that since he had to SSH into the Kindle to copy it out, he would have left it in there.
About the packaging -
It is only a single file, no reason to use tar at all.
And gzip is "good enough" (read: "common enough") that our posts to each other can stick with that compressor.
About tar -
The (GNU) tar will self-detect the compression used, if any.
tar --extract --file=whatever.tar.bz2 works without specifing the compression since about version 1.15 or so.
Unless you are using the (Busybox) tar - that one should be used as GM posted above.
