And have fun!
install the dsl-dpkg.dsl with the MyDSL icon on your desktop.

open a root xterm and type "apt-get update" and when that's done, "apt-get install unrar", and when that's down close the Xterm

Open emelfm and navigate to your rar file and type in the input line at the bottom of the window "unrar myfile.rar".

Learn to use Google.
thank you kindly  :D
Hi, I was searching and found this post. I did the apt-get update part and got this error. Can anyone help?

If anyone could help it would be great. I installed apt-get from the MyDSL program and from what i saw nothing went wrong.
