Try xarchiver, it's probably in your repository.
Google is your friend.

If you change your mind and want to try a command line utility, this is exactly what
split
is for:That'll split
myfile
into as many 512MB files as necessary (namedmyfile.aa
,myfile.ab
, etc.).On the receiving end, just
cat
the files back together:Q7z or Q7z
Yup. I'd also note
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: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.
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The CentOS Repository is usually very out of date.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.
