Thanks! Have you fully tested every feature on Gentoo Linux? Support for Fedora was added some time ago, but unfortunately PSBBN will not boot when installed with that distro. If you can confirm that everything works, I'll be happy to merge.

Could you also add unrar-free? It will be required by the update that's coming soon.

Added Requested unRAR package to install package list and double checked to make sure everything still works!

I added unrar to the list of packages, and went through and checked that it all works.

Good news that it's fully working. I'm not familiar with Gentoo Linux. What does app-arch/unrar install exactly? I know there are various versions of unrar. The script will check for and use the unrar-free command.

To me it seems to install the free version of unrar, but terminal doesn't respond at all to unrar-free. I am not the most avid user of rar/unrar, but this seems to be what you are looking for.

No, that's the freeware version, we need the open source version. Some distros have unrar on their non-free repository, complicating the install.

ChatGPT says this is what you need:

emerge app-arch/unrar-free

You should then be able to run unrar-free --version and see something like this:

unrar-free 0.1.3

It seems that the version of unrar you are requesting isn't part of any Gentoo package repository, as searching the repos themselves and trying the emerge command that was given was fruitless.
