I just started using Linux and I love it. But I'm still quit clueless with it. I just bought cheap bytes 3 cd archive, and I have no idea how to install the programs on it. Could someone please help me. Do I use tar and gzip or both and when, then do I have to compile them. Most programs seem to have more then one compressed file that comes with it. What ones do I need to umcompress. thanxs, Brian Kellogg _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
