help installing any thing
 

hi im vary new to linux and i installed fedora 3 today and i downloaded sidecandy and gDesklets and i wanna know how to install it and get it to work but i dont know any thing about linux, could some one tell me how to get it to work?

What kinda of file extension do the files have. All files have different methods of installing. If they are .tar.gz or tar.bz2 source files extract them using
tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz or
tar -xjvf filename.tar.bz2
and look for a INSTALL or README file and there should be documentation to install them.

if you downloaded the .rpm´s use a packagemanager or the console with:
rpm -ihv paketname

(as root!) ;-)
