Hi Guys
As a Newbie to Linux, I Hope someone can point me in the right direction
System Amd 2300 512 Ram duel system boot running W XP and Suse 10.2

Trying to install AMSN and following instructions have run into the following error message:-
No such file or Directory

After downloading Amsn now trying to install from Desktop:-
man@base:~>/Desktop> gzip -d amsn-0.96.tar.gz
gzip: amsn-0.96.tar.gz: No such file or directory
man@base:~>/Desktop>

man@base:~>

What have i missed?

the directory the file is in probably isn't in your path (man path for more info)

In the meantime, just use one of the following:
cheers

Hi nilleso
Thank you for your reply
I have followed your instructions, however this was the following result:-

base:/home/master # ls
.bash_history .fontconfig .macromedia .urlview
.bashrc .fonts .mcop .wapi

bin .gconfd .muttrc .wine

base:/home/master # gzip -d ~/Desktop/amsn-0.96.tar.gz
gzip: /root/Desktop/amsn-0.96.tar.gz: No such file or directory
base:/home/master # gzip -d .amsn-0.96.tar.gz
gzip: .amsn-0.96.tar.gz: No such file or directory
base:/home/master #

However still No joy

It seems you are logged as root, but the tar.gz is on the Desktop of user "master". If this is the case, you have to do:

to point to /home/master, otherwise you point to the "home of root", that is /root.
