kyirekos,
If you're saving to Desktop, do this:
1: Open Terminal.
2: Type cd Desktop <-- (Please note the Case of the "Desktop" part - it starts with a Capital letter)
3: the type: bunzip2 qnextsetup.tar.bz2
4: then type tar -xf qnextsetup.tar
5: proceed with the rest of your commands...
From this point the rest of the commands you gave in your message should work as expected.
When you save to Desktop, and then open a Terminal, you are in /home/yourusername/, and Desktop is a Directory/Folder within this "home" directory. If I understand what you're saying in line #3 of your second "step", then this is gonna create a directory/folder on your Desktop. If this is not what you want, then when you Download the file, save it to your Home directory, and proceed from there, by opening the Terminal, and you should see the file you downloaded there using the "ls -al | more" command to get a listing of the contents of the directory you are currently "in". Another useful command is "pwd" which will give the actual "Path" to the directory you are in at that time.
You may need to use sudo in front of each of the commands, if it says "Access denied" or some such message. This gives temporary Root privlidges, and ususlly get past the "access Denied" messages....
Hope this helps.. If not, please post back any problems or error messages, and I will try to assist.
