unrar-3.20-1plf is on PLF. If there's multiple parts, then
'unrar e file.part01.rar' will start the process, and use all the
remaining parts. OTOH, if you want to use a GUI, then
'cp /usr/bin/unrar /usr/bin/rar' and install File Roller.
Clicking on the first rar part in a file manger (eg, Konqueror)
will launch File Roller and then just choose Extract, and click OK.
Try both the CL and the GUI, see which method you like the best ;)
unrar needs to be copied to rar, because that what File Roller looks
for and uses. So don't skip that step. 'Course you could also do it
with a link.
