Do you have the kdeutils-ark package installed? It provides the ark archiving package. It will appear when you right click on an archive file, or just double left click. BTW: karchiver is on the contrib mirrors. You can install it by declaring a source for 'contrib' by following the instructions on this page http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php You can then install any package on contrib by using your normal Mandrake Software install GUI. All dependencies will be sorted out for you. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
