have phun

Its called file roller. It's been included since 9.1.

nope you're wrong my friend!I am talking about RAR!!!!!and he asks how I can unzip rar file!!!it is called rar and it is available from hxxp://www.rarlab.com
file roller won't work to unrar the RAR files!!!

you cant.. only tar/tar.gz etc.

Have you tried file roller? I have it opens up RAR files because I've used it before.

use unrar, it's quick and simple - mandrake rpms are available from http://plf.zarb.org

or just google for a tarball

then: unrar -x $filename

courtrrb is right, file-roller _can_ open .rar archives, but it's only a front-end to the command-line compression tools. If your distro doesn't have native .rar support, file-roller won't.

If command-line tarball support wasn't included in the distros by default, fileroller wouldn't be able to open them.

typing: $compression-tool -$options filename

is quicker than using file-roller. Tab-completion and <Ctrl> + <R> are your friends.
