Here's some suggestions for rar. If you want to extract a file using the CLI you must enter the path to the file as it was archived. In order to get an idea about that all you have to do is rar t unknown_archive-001.rar > manifest.txt You can do the "l" command (list) but it pumps out alot of stuff you prob won't need. After that you can search manifest.txt and see how the files are stored and then extract using the file path and name you discovered as the last qualifier. rar e archive-001.rar brink/tmp/download/example.rpm The e command will put the archive in your current dir without the path, the x command will recreate the stored path completely at your current position. X I use quite alot for recreating home directory structures from backup to new MDK installs. I hope that's not too much unsolicited information. ;) --LX -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk Linux Mandrake 9.1 Enlightenment-0.16.5-12mdk Evolution 1.2.4-1.1mdk Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
