Re: [Maemo 5] Unzipping files

If you want unrar with xarchiver install unrar 3.8.2 for Diablo (Maemo Diablo extras). Works fine for me.

I tried playing on xterm but when i get to the folder where the file is going to be unzipped, and i typed "unzip (name of the zipped file)" it says (name of the unzipped file) not found!

I badly need help.
Thanks in advance!

There's an alternative for unzipping files in Maemo/N900, it's called jar.

Install icedtea6 JDK.

Yes this installs a Java 6 runtime but that's a nice side effect, isn't it? (you can run Java SE apps) ;-)

Then you can use it to unzip files as such:

Code:

jar x FILENAME.zip

you can even create zip files:

Code:

jar c FILENAME.zip FILES...

Re: [Maemo 5] Unzipping files

Mmm, great if you want java installed.
But very heavy if you're just trying to unzip a few files.
