fuse-zip

Very useful tool for mounting zip files on linux. The trouble is, there is no deb for Ubuntu karmic, and so you have to either rebuild it yourself, or do a little apt-hack. To apt-hack, all you have to do is update your /etc/apt/sources.list to the 2010 release: lucid (so in vim :%s/karmic/lucid/g). Now do a sudo apt-get update, but be careful not to upgrade! Now install fuse-zip (or you can download the package), and only a few dependencies should be upgraded. Revert sources.list and you’re all set!
