i have a directory i created in my home directory called src for all program that are tar.gz tar.bz2 files. so i saved azureus.tar.gz or whatever the name is to /home/jeff/src i unzipped it with the command tar -xzvf azureus.tar.gz (or -xjvf if it is .bz2) it creates the directory azureus. itneeds to be run from that directory or else it complains. so you can type ./azureus in that directory and hit enter to start it up. it can be a pain to always have to change to the directory to do that so i made a shell script named azureus.sh which is the one i posted earlier. all that script does is change to the directory and start up the executable. to be able to just type in azureus and have it start up i linked the shell script to a directory in the search path by doing this command.

ln -s /path/to/azureus.sh /usr/local/bin/azureus

so to answer your question you can move it anywhere you want to as long as you know where it is to cd to that directory and type ./azureus (or set up a shellscript to do it automatically for you) good luck

Thank you very much. That clears up a lot! I think I am going to follow your lead and do it that way.

Now that I have Azureus installed, all I have to do is get Java working..... Any suggestion on this? here is the post of what happened to me... that?http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...19#post1736519
