Re: [newbie] rar compression software
On www.rpmfind.net you can find more up-to-date packages of rar (version 3.3). The problem is that they are not specifically designed for Mandrake, so I don't know if they will work correctly. Anyway as far as I know this site is the best to get any sort of rpm.

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. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Posters don't always use a .rar file, so sometimes you might see a post with file.rar file.r00 file.r01 . file.r59 and other times you'll see file.part01.rar file.part02.rar . file.part59.rar For the latter, unrar with unrar e file.part01.rar Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
