Terminal Unzip question

[Yr Blues]

When I use Terminal to Unzip a zip file, it asks me:

"replace .DS_Store? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:"

What does this mean and what should I do?

.ds_store is a hidden file Mac OS X uses to remember certain things about files and folders that don't need to be in the files.

It's highly situation dependent if you want that restored or not.

What would be the most benign, default choice? Thanks for the help.

you generally wouldn't need .ds_store to come from the zip file. Read the wiki article and see if any of the contents apply to you.
