Please help!!
 

Im using linux SuSe if it means anything, and im totally new to this linux thing... I have downloaded a game called planeshift its supposed to work on linux... (im using mozilla) After i downloaded i needed to know how to install, so i checked the guide, but i dont understand a word! it was words like "cm" and "chmod" and i dont know what that means, and also i dont know what those x32 and x64 means... how do I check what one i should download? All i need is a step by step guide on how to download and an explanation on what cm and chmod means... please help!

Let start at the beginning you use suse which version of suse 10.1.or 10.2 ore 10.3 or even earlier version ?
X32 means 32 bits x64 bits Suse 10.3 32 bits runs on a 64 bits machine the 64 bits do not run on a 32 bits machine
Installing programs in suse is normally down with yast By mozilla you mean firefox the web browser ?

so give us more information so we can give you a more specific answer


all the best

chmod is a command you type in a console. What i think it refers to is typing where nameoffile is the name of the planeshift file to make the file executable, you would type that in a console or an xterm. x32 means (i think) a 32bit os and x64 a 64bit os. If you have a 32 bit os/processor get the x32 and x64 for 64 bit one. It might be a good idea to read the manpages for any commands it asks you to run by typing where nameofcommand is the name of the comand you want info on, i.e. "man chmod"

I played it for a little while several months ago. I really couldn't figure out how to do more than just run around and kill things...got a little boring. But the Kran are cool! I also like the idea of the warforged in the D&D Eberron setting.

thanks for all help guys, and I dont know how i check my version of my SuSe, if u tell me i will check and tell you

It should tell you in the output of

uname -a

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname

I did what u told me and i got this:
"Linux Ville 2.6.4-52-default #1 Wed Apr 7 02:08:30 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
"
hope it will help you, and i forgot to tell u im using mozilla only, no firefox or anything, its just named mozilla composer / mozilla

Based on the results of a google search for that kernel, I think you may be using Suse 9.1:

This link indicates you can find the version number by entering

uname -sr

hmmm, does this mean i should use x32 to be safe?
I got "Linux 2.6.4-52-default" when i used the uname -sr function...

It would be ok to use the x32 version. If your hardware is in fact x64, it would still run, it would just not take full advantage of your 64-bit processor.

Here is another link that instructs you how to find your version release:
