How do i extract .LHAs in AROS?

[Steril707]

I downloaded Kens awesome icons in a .lha format, but Ubuntus Fileroller doesn't want to extract them.

I guess i have to do this in Aros, so is there any usable lha-extractor hidden in the depths of the hostes linux distribution? Or something i can download anywhere?


One other thing thats disturbing me in the linux hosted version (apart from that todays nightly build doesnt start up at all ) is, that the changes i made to the workbench/wanderer do not get saved (e.g. setting up a gradient as background, wallpapers don't work at all on my current build).
The next time i start up aros again, everything's looking the way it was before.

I would like to customize this a little bit, having some fancy icons and the oldschool blue/orange workbench theme should be awesome.

Then i will show this to my old friends, who had Amigas as well in their youth, and get them into Aros as well.  

 :-D

Thanks for the fast answers...

I will  try out later, and tell you how it worked (I am on Windows at the moment  :-(  ).


thanks,

Okay, seems to work fine now... Also nice advice with the user startup. Helps a lot.

Are there any recommended distributions of Aros that run more stable? I heard about Aros Max being good, but i cannot download that anywhere. My linux hosted Aros keeps on crashing like mad, and is doing all kinds of crazy things. Sometimes when i try to customize stuff with the prefs/wanderer tool, the whole system won't startup anymore. Thats really bad.


One more question from me: Is there any kind of graphical representation of the filesystem inside AROS?

i know the concept of the Workbench was kind of hiding the internal stuff from the users, and showing only the relevant progs, but what do i do if i wanna copy something, or do other stuff? I remember DirOpus on the classic WBs doing the magic on this one, whats in there from Aros on this?
I just ask, with your help i got the lha with kens icons now extracted, but i cannot see the drawer with them on the Wanderer/WB, seems there is no .info file for the drawer.

any solutions to this problem?

thanks for all the previous input,
Mike

It's strange though, the native i386 version that i have on cd works like a charm. Almost "uncrashable". The hosted linux version almost doesn't work at all, and if it works, it gets crashed completely down by changing a few prefs. I know the hosted linux version is heavy work in progress, but still, this is a little bit disencouraging.
I would like to have a hosted linux version as rocksolid as the native i386 one i have. It's sad that those snapshots are not available anymore.

Anyway, thanks for all the valuable info,
keep rocking,
Mike

Hey Einstein, are you using Qemu on Linux or Windows?

Apparently you can see a Linux binary there, what Linux distro would that be I wonder ?

My mistake... No Linux binary off course.. :-)
