is there anyone who can help on a step by step process on how to unzip zipped files on n900? Or direct me to a related topic of this thread? Im really a noob in mac and maemo, and im not a computer wiz or somrthibg else good at computers, but i can follow simple instructions.

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!

Did you capitalise correctly?
Linux is case sensitive on filenames.

Is the zip file in the same directory (use "ls" to check), or did you provide the full path to the zip file?

yes when i access MyDocs there are some folders shown like in the file manager the i type "ls" and more folders and files are visible including the file i wanted to unzip. what i have done is type "unzip (name of file)" and then it says file not found. did i got that right? or im way too far?

That should be correct, yes. Can you upload a screenshot of the output of the "ls" and the unzip commands?

Tab key is your friend when typing filenames (or commands). Start typing "unzip abc" where abc is a couple of first letters of filename and use tab to complete the filename. This way you can't type it wrong.

Note that if there are for example files "nicefile.txt" and "nicerfile.txt" and you type "nice" and then click tab, it doesn't complete it, but when you click tab twice, it shows all files which starts with "nice" and then you can type some more ("f" for "nicefile.txt" or "r" for "nicerfile.txt") and click tab to complete.
