Unrar question

I didn't explain myself properly in my OP. I'm trying to use the Terminal to do it. Anyway, I worked it out. simply unrar x myfile.rar /media/linuxlite/mydevice/ where myfile.rar is the filepath for the rar and mydevice is the external drive location. I also experimented with mv to move the file from /home to /mydevice and that worked. So, I'm slowly learning! Of course your way works too as I tried. I'm writing this in case anyone searches in the future.

Glad you worked it out :)

Now I can only use low spec machines. I'm on a Dell D610. LL runs fine on it. That and a piece of Linux software that a work colleague wrote for free (my employer doesn't support Linux) has enabled me to keep working the same job.

A nice idea. I didn't even know they existed. Thanks.

Is there a list of the most frequently used command Terminal commands and what they do? I know this isn't LL specific.

Unrar is already installed in Linux Lite. Just extract the file by double clicking on it like you would a zip package. You can then extract the rar file to anywhere that you have permissions to.
