What's the best way to unzip multiple rar files?

[jacatone]

I downloaded a Linux distro from a torrent site and it has over 60 individual rar files. I have WinRar but don't know how to use it in this situation. Also, if I'm successful in unpacking all this, how would I install it since it's too large to burn to a CD. Thanks.

Don't unzip them!

I don't know why you have rar files. Did it come with any other file types? What I would do is burn the whole folder contents(contents, so it woul dbe D:\somename.RAR and not D:\somefolder\somename.rar) to a CD. Then stick the CD in and try and reboot. Assuming you have your CD drive as the first or 2nd(as long as it is before the HD) in the boot order in your BIOS. If you dont, then make the appropriate changes to your boot sequence in the BIOS.

double click on the first file usually ends with ".r00" or ".rar"
select the file in WINRAR window, then select extract.
( there is usually one or two files in the archive in ".bin, .cue" format)
Use Nero to burn the file to cd or dvd.
Then boot from it(I meant the CD).
