Although I have over 50 GB free in /home, / has only about 8 GB free.
Thus, as tar uses /tmp, the / filesystem fills up and I cannot
continue. How can I specify a tmp directory for tar in my home
directory? Note that man tar makes no mention of a tmp option.
Thanks in advance.

directory and run "export TMP=$home/tmp"? (I don't remember if bzip2
and tar honor TMP.)

Thanks, but that did not work either. The / filesystem did not fill
up, but I got this error:
ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~/Desktop$ tar xjf enwiki-20070802-pages-articles.xml.bz2
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~/Desktop$
Maybe the archive is bad?
