Re: [newbie] GZIP/GUNZIP
I just loaded Mandrake 10 and want to add new programs like the latest version of Open Office, AOL Instant Messenger and a couple of others so I downloaded those files. They are tar'd and gzipped. However, I do not seem to have a program in KDE to unzip them. When I right click on them it does not give me the choice to unzip them because it does not know what they are. I have also downloaded the program KARCHIVER as an RPM but cannot get it to load becasue it fails file dependencies for a file that is in the RPM. I am at a stand still. DO you have any advice on how to get these programs unzipped so I can install them or what might be the problem with the KARCHIVER RPM?

Mainly cause it handles any kind of compressed files, even windoze .zips, if you have the proper decompress utils installed. Both it an FileRunner will even handle .rar's Tho I usually do those on the CL -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It provides the ark archiving package. It will appear when you right click on an archive file, or just double left click. BTW: karchiver is on the contrib mirrors. You can install it by declaring a source for 'contrib' by following the instructions on this page http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php You can then install any package on contrib by using your normal Mandrake Software install GUI. All dependencies will be sorted out for you. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
