Comments on How to install and use 7zip file archiver on Ubuntu Linux

If you are a Microsoft Windows user, and your work involves sending/receiving large files over a network, there's quite a possibility that you'd have at least heard of (if not used) the 7zip tool. For those who aren't aware, 7zip is an award-winning, open-source file archiver that is claimed to have "a high compression ratio.". In this article, we'll discuss how to install and use p7zip in Linux.

Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DonePackage p7zip-full is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourceE: Package 'p7zip-full' has no installation candidate

if you would prefer to use a GUI version of 7zip in Linux I have found that you can also install the Windows version of 7zip through WINE.  After that you can make it more accesible by adding it to favouritres in the start menu, setting it as the default program to open compressed files and set the default path to your home or downloads directory by changing options in the program.

 

On another note I have found that the Windows version of IMGBurn seems to work better than most if not all DVD burning software available in Ubuntu and can also be installed through WINE.

Too much talking makes it totally incomprehensible for beginner as well as for some little advanced.

All good until it  became unacceptable after your comment;

"If that seems a bit complex, don't worry, because we'll explain 7z's usage in baby steps."

That's where things goes all over the place.. I hope you are not a school  teacher. poor pupils :-)

Cheers

The term 'baby steps' means to do something in small increments, see: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Baby%20steps and is not related to being a baby or something similar. That's really nothing to complain about.
