How can I extract/unzip a zipped linux file Go to the software manager, enter zip, you should see the packages zip and unzip. They will either be installed already or you will have to do so. These work on all ZIP files that I have come accross. Dave. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

HH I wonder if anyone can tell me how I can get a i686.rpm file changed over to HH run on a i586 linux box. As it is already compiled, I believe you probably cant, but the program may work. If not, you will need to find the source and recompile, or need to find a i586 one. HH I also wonder why some would take a linux file or source and put it into a HH zip file..

Re: [expert] rpm or zip files
While RPM archived files are convenient they are not univerally used on all linux distributions. Also RPM binary files don't give you control or security over the files you install. Tar Ball or tar zipped files give the user more control and are used in all distributions. tar -xzf filename Ron Harold Hartley wrote: I wonder if anyone can tell me how I can get a i686.rpm file changed over to run on a i586 linux box.
