Try xarchiver, it's probably in your repository.

If you change your mind and want to try a command line utility, this is exactly what split is for:

split -b 512m myfile myfile.

That'll split myfile into as many 512MB files as necessary (named myfile.aa, myfile.ab, etc.).

On the receiving end, just cat the files back together:

cat myfile.* > myfile

Yup. I'd also note

tar -czf some.tgz somefolder/

And then split the tgz. You can also then re-open it with the default tools on every Linux distro I know of, and on Windows (join the files... I forget the command, and then open it with winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc)

you mean text-based gui, because you will not use gnome or kde?

Apparently copy will do it:

copy /b myfile.aa+myfile.ab myfile

Try WinRAR

wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.8.0.tar tar -xf rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz cd rar

Copy rar & unrar files to /usr/bin:

cp rar unar /usr/bin

How to use:

unrar x

rar a filename filesource `

To split a big file:

rar a filename -v102400k "folder/file"

PS: Unfortunately, 3.80 is pretty old build. It lacks some features.

GaNi

For 7zip,

yum install p7zip
7za

The CentOS Repository is usually very out of date.

ark?

I wish there was a command line extractor that worked out the file type based on the extension, would save having to remember all the letters.

Could just write a shell script to read $0, get the extension and then do the appropriate options, wouldn't be that hard I guess.

I'm not sure how that matters for something like xarchiver. It's not like archivers often change their featureset.

EDIT: That being said, I do use a distro with reasonably up-to-date repositories in my desktop (OpenSuSE) to avoid missing features etc in software. Your point is valid, it just doesn't really seem to apply to this specific situation.
