Newbie Help: Can't install Anything Slightly Out of My Depth
 
Hi I'm sorry for posting yet another dumb question. I'm running Fedora 16 and I'm having trouble installing some programs. I'm trying to install CD Paranoia, SRWare Iron and a few other programs. Could anyone help? I really don't have a clue what to do but I'd like to learn.

Thank You, :)

cdparanoia is available in the fedora repository. In a terminal, type as root

Code:
yum install cdparanoia
To check if a program is available in the repository, you could use one of the following commands.

Code:
yum info package_name
yum search/provides pacakge_name
You can use *some_keyword if you do not know the actual package name.

Good advice above of CD Paranoia.

Regarding web browser, my suggestion obviously is to use a tested & trusted browser from the Fedora repositories, such as Firefox.

However if you want to install an unsupported browser, here are easy instructions to get SRWare Iron running:

Download the correct tar.bz (32 or 64 bit depending on your architecture) from here: http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2934 and ask for help in that thread if the download is not self-explanatory. :)
