Make sure ALL applications are closed AND you are connected to the internet.
Then type the command - you need to be root user to do this.
cd means Change Directory, just like in Windows you have C:\Program Files etc. etc. in Linux you have /etc, /usr, /home/user (forward slash instead of 'C:\'), so you need to find where you downloaded the file
the internal memory is /home/user/MyDocs (this is 'N900' in File manager)
The memory card is /media/mmc1/

Download Rar file to your Documents directory. Make sure you have rootsh installed from the repositories.
Code:
sudo gainroot apt-get install unrar cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/ unrar e *.rar

After a short while you'll realise why the N900 is so much better than any other phone out there.

Edit: It worked. I had to enable extra-devel catalogue. Thanks.
