Can you let me which packages I need to download/install to create 'RAR & Zip' archives from the list of packages you have attached to your 1st post?

Thanks

Hi it does zip built-in, so all you need is http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=16092
for rar files.

Here are the svn sources I patched, Why did I patch them? well simply the svn releases have xfce as a dep, but the main release doesn't. So what you do is copy over all the make parts to the svn folder and compile it, it works without error and actually produces a much more stable version than the main release which was crashed very easy. The only offset to doing this is when you click about, it says its the main release number and not the svn number, but that doesn't bug me, I could go and edit the make file each time but why bother.

If I want to be able to work with all the formats listed in this thread I just install all these pets? I notice there are multiple xarchiver pets, so which one do I use? I'm a noob so pardon my ignorance.

you install them all if you want the matching extra formats, out of the box xarchiver will open a lot of formats.

Thanks for the pets, xarchiver is awsome. Easy unrar is why i failed puppy obedience school last time. Just installed on 5.28, so easy. CHEERS
