I have downloaded an executable file that and have no Idea how to install the file.

The file can be found here.

If someone could tell me how to do this it would be great!

Ok thanks now is there a way to make this app run as soon as the computer boots.

Also is their a way to list the curent processes running on the box.

Ok now I have closed the console and I can't get it back up to view the running file.

It was showing me whenever it would complete any more of the process but now I accidently closed the console. I want to bring it back up to view it??

Not familiar with that particular program and haven't gone and looked at it. But generally you can "autostart" a program by either placing the program in the <username>/.kde/autostart directory or placing a link to the program in that directory.

Note that a dotted directory or file is hidden. You may have to turn hidden files on in your filemanager to see them.

You can get a list of running processes a number of ways. One way is at a command line type:

ps -ax

Do a ... man ps to learn more.

To see running programs, at a command prompt type:

top
