main menu disappears

Check out this site.

Works fine. I had to start gnome-panel manually at the end.

~$ gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
~$ rm -rf /home/USERNAME/.gconf/apps/panel
~$ pkill gnome-panel
~$ gnome-panel

rar

I downloaded from rarlabs site.
The rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz was the one that worked for me.
Uncompress, go to the directory in the terminal and type sudo make
The End.
