I dl'd some desktop bacground pics and they are .zip files. No prob in Win, but how can I open these in Mandrake? I have allready tried searching through this forum and the FAQ's..

TIA
 
Exactly. Just open up a command prompt, and type unzip file.zip

man unzip will tell you how to do cool stuff with it like doing CRC checks without extracting files, decompressing to stdout, and so on.

If you get 'unzip: command not found', then you will need to install unzip. Just open up rpmdrake and look for it, or put the CD in, become root, and do rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/unzip-(tab key).
