GNOME or KDE icon packages
can anyone tell me how to get all of the icons for GNOME or KDE? We had them all at my old work in three different sizes and I should have grabbed them before I left, but I forgot. I've found a few files that I can download (some zipped format), but I have no idea how to unzip them (on Windows).
the ones I've found are for Debian and have an extension that my machine pukes on when it sees it.

Re: GNOME or KDE icon packages
What's the extension? Linux doesn't commonly use anything wierd which winzip/winrar won't handle. They're usually *.tar.gz or *.tar.bz2. You could actually de-compress them on the linux box then zip 'em back up again in windows happy-as-larry zip format:Burrito wrote:can anyone tell me how to get all of the icons for GNOME or KDE?

Those look similar to Red Hats Package Manager (RPM) files. Does debian have a package manager app like RPM?
EDIT | Ok, after googling it appears they are packages. I found this write up on deb files when searching for '.deb files in debian'. I think you can use the Dpkg command to install the files, or you can use apt-get.

then perhaps that's not what I was looking for at all. All I want are the three different sized icons that are used in the different GUIs. As I said, I know these packages are freely available because we had them at my last job.
anyone know where else I might find these?
edit: here is a list of the files from gnome (from the same site I posted above)
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/sear ... e&arch=all

KDE sources including images, icons etc are freely available. Have e.g. a look at http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/
Are you looking for all icons of all kde applications? Lots of them are in the source archive kdelibs and kdeartwork, http://www.kde.org/download/
