Mod zip download is: http://members.ziggo.nl/paul_patricia/XB...in.MOD.rar
I wish to unzip it to: ~/.xbmc/addons
Thanks

I don't know how to get to the command line in XBMC Live, but I assume you do, so, from there ($ being the prompt):
1. First, check and see that 'unrar' is installed:
$ which unrar
/usr/bin/unrar
If you get
whch: no unrar in (/bin/:/usr/bin/...)
you need to install that first. Not sure how to do that in XBMC Live since I don't know what it's built on, but you can probably figure that out.
After you have made sure you have unrar installed:
2. Go into the addons dir:
$ cd ~/.xbmc/addons
cd being '
change
directory'
3. Unrar the file:
$ unrar x /path/to/skin.MOD.rar
4. Make sure a dir was created:
$ ls
that's the letter L, not an I, like in "list"
Should print out a listing of addons/ contents, and the skin.MOD directory should be seen.
That should be it. Good luck.
