.rar support
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.
Code: Select all
cd /path/to/MYrarARCHIVE.rar
rar x MYrarARCHIVE.rar
Obviously replace "MYrarARCHIVE.rar" with your real RAR archive filename.

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.
