Henry Wyatt: >> Need to know basics of how o install downloaded programs ie, Mozilla >> Firefox 3.6 and Open Office, both files end in .gz Michael Miles: > both those files can be installed via add/remove software in the system tab You might want to clarify that kind of comment, to a newcomer. It's not those "files" that it will work with. Mozilla and OpenOffice.org can be installed using the add/remove software function, because there are pre-compiled packages for them in the internet file repositories that the add/remove thingy works with. It'll automatically download and, then, install them. These packages will be different from the the .gz files that you find on those program's own websites, and probably not even the same version of the program. But you won't use the add/remove software thingy to install software from a .gz archive file that you've already downloaded. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
