I've downloaded a zip file off the net into a directory on a WIn98 partition.Running DSL 2.3, I open emelFM as superuser, mount the partition, click through to the directory and find the file there as expected. If I right-click on the file and click on "UNZIP," a terminal window briefly opens and closes. What happened? If I right-click on the file and click on PLUGIN:unpack --> The zip file vanishes! Now I really want to know, "What happened?" Using find, I get no answer back - the wristwatch sits there telling me that find is doing something until I get tired of looking at it and stop the search. Also, when I click on "View Contents," it shows a 720k zip file having _no_ contents! There's probably at least 3 things I'm not getting here... Could someone help?
