How do you rar a big file, in separated rar's of 100mb each, with a password? apt-get install rar doens't work because the link to the ftp is wrong. I've tried rarlinux but don't know how to run it. I'm new with Linux and Debian.. Got the server today. Could some one help me with getting this? Greets, Hellfjre
