If I try apt-get install unzip unrar I get the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependancy tree
Reading state information... Done
Package unzip is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: package unzip has no installation candidate


Umm... what am I doing wrong?

You probably don't have the right repository enabled (extras-devel, i imagine).

7-zip is a good choice.

To install on n900,

Step 1: activate Extras-testing

Application manager --> Application catalogs --> New
Catalog name: maemo.org extras-testing
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free


Step 2 : Open x terminal

Step 3 : 'sudo gainroot'

Step 4: 'apt-get update'

Step 5: 'apt-get install p7zip-full'

now 7-zip is installed into the n900


To extract files, open the terminal and type '7z e test.zip'

check following link to find complete command line options of 7z - http://dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples

Thanks for the wonderful help!
I don't have devel installed, that's still a little scary for me, but I'll try 7-zip, and since it's in testing, I can give feedback too :-)

Yes. 7-zip works with almost all popular formats.

"No such archive" is because there is no such file (blablah.zip)

If you've downloaded a zip file (etc named helloworld.zip) you have to do this in the correct directory.
Code:
7z e helloworld.zip

I refer you to the post above, where it is demonstrated to be as easy as "7z e yourzipfile.zip". You want your momma to come do it for you, or what?
