In the directory you have all the .rar's in run
'unrar e filename.part01.rar' Rar will start with the first
one and then consequetively extract all the rest. If you're not
missing any parts.
Another way is to use file-roller. It looks for 'rar' tho.
So first you must rename, copy, or link /usr/bin/unrar
to /usr/bin/rar. Then just click on part01.rar in a file manager
and file-roller will start. Then choose Action | Extract (or
somethin like that) from the toolbar.
I find it easier and quicker to use the CL.
