Hi geo909,
Download & install unrar from here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ach&id=211
Then create a temporary directory, for the .rar archive, move the archive there, then change to that directory, & on the commandline enter:
(Of course, replace xxxx with the real archive's name. The reason for moving it to a temporary location is that unrar extracts the archive holus-bolus...you'll see what I mean when you extract).
Or follow T_Hobbit's suggestion for PeaZIp, which is the RollsRoyce of archivers.

Whatever you do, don't open a console and type:
And Heaven forbid visiting http://linux.die.net/man/1/ or adding it to your bookmarks.
Code: Select all
unrar -h

This command extracts the file to the current directory
yes it works with multi-part Rar files
Code: Select all
unrar e xxxx.rar
Open console/terminal
Type: unrar e filename.rar
or for multi-part rars: unrar e filename.part1.rar or unrar e filename.001.rar
Type: unrar e filename.rar
or for multi-part rars: unrar e filename.part1.rar or unrar e filename.001.rar

Turns out that unrar was already on my computer via Puppy 3.10/ChurchPup.alienjeff wrote:Open console/terminal

No idea why it is not autodetected when one tries to open a .rar document.
The multipart command worked perfectly for me.
Thanks alienjeff!

It looks like you don't have the application.
Earlier in this thread, Muggins suggested downloading and installing this: unrar.pup

At mine puppy (puppy linux 4.1 retro) unrar wasn't installed and I installed it from the offcial repository of puppy 3 (pet_packages-3,filename ''unrar-3.4.3.pet'') which worked fine.

How to get XArchive to extract a .rar file automatically.
Most later versions of Puppy Linux come with unrar preinstalled by default. If it does not seem to be present in yours, you can download the .pet package from:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=11097
If you want the extraction process to work automatically when you click on a .rar file (as opposed to using the terminal), you can use XArchive as follows:
Right-click on a .rar file.
Select the option "Set run action".
At the bottom, enter the command:
xarchive "$1"
Next time you click on a .rar file, XArchive should open automatically.
