It will be helpful if there was a program for puppy linux to open .rar archives/files. Presently, I need to use windows to do this. |

Why install anything extra? Puppy 5.x already contains the Linux "rar" utility. Do this -
Done. Obviously replace "MYrarARCHIVE.rar" with your real RAR archive filename. |

@tempestous: Am I missing something on here or its 'unrar' instead of 'rar'? _________________ Last edited by GustavoYz on Thu 17 Mar 2011, 04:35; edited 1 time in total |

"rar" and "unrar" will both do the job. "unrar" will decompress. "rar" will compress and decompress. Obviously "rar" is a larger executable. |

Oops, I have a lot of development utilities installed on my Puppy 5.1 hard drive. I just booted to the Puppy 5.1 CD now, and I see that it has neither rar nor unrar. I think I installed the official version of rar/unrar from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm but I see that while unrar is freeware, rar is trialware and cannot be redistributed. Sorry for the confusion. Here's the latest version of unrar, compiled from Ubuntu-supplied source code.

Another alternative is to install and use Peazip which seems to handle rar compressed files just fine. |

A cool thing about PeaZip is that you can extract massively a lot of compressed files. @tempestous: Thanks for the pet!
