Note: This installs shareware rar application, but you may delete this application since
freeware 'unrar' is already installed in Porteus

available
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-d0919208.html

Instructions: Right click on 'Send To' menu item of a rar archive -- choose 'unrar'

It handles the following :

Dots in name i.e. archive.mine.rar
Whitespace
passwords
multi-part archive ---> put all parts in same folder then right click on one of the parts and choose 'unrar'
