It may not take that long, because it will not work. :-( If you look at unzip's ToDo file (/usr/share/doc/unzip/ToDo), you will note that it does not support such large zip files. The original zip format only supports files up two 4 GB, until PKWARE extended it. See the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_%28file_format%29. It might be possible to unzip the file with the 7z utility, contained in the p7zip-full package. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
