Not exactly sure what you mean by work with the files, but if you've got a rar archive to unpack, you can do it with: unrar e file.rar unrar-3.20-1plf is on PLF. If there's multiple parts, then 'unrar e file.part01.rar' will start the process, and use all the remaining parts. OTOH, if you want to use a GUI, then 'cp /usr/bin/unrar /usr/bin/rar'and install File Roller. Clicking on the first rar part in a file manger (eg, Konqueror) will launch File Roller and then just choose Extract, and click OK. Try both the CL and the GUI, see which method you like the best ;) unrar needs to be copied to rar, because that what File Roller looks for and uses. So don't skip that step.

Alternatively, www.adobe.com also provides a Linux version (5.0.8) of Adobe Acrobat reader (I was unable to get the Mandrake rpm or the previous versions from Adobe to work). .rar files are really for Windows. They can be extracted with `unrar`. I found unrar-3.2.0-fr1.rpm and IIRC it was on www.sourceforge.net. It works quite easily from the command line, the only odd thing is that the options work without dashes as usual, e.g.: unrar x foo.rar (not ... -x ...). If you don`t manage to find it I can mail it to you.
