Hi all,
I am new to Linux (SuSE 9.1 personal) & I don't have much experience installing packages but I can navigate ok. I would like to install a free P2P file sharing program and want to use Overnet (edonkey2000?) But YaST is not recognizing/installing. I'm getting an error saying media not available or something. But I have downloaded them? confused:
I really like Linux and am delighted to have the windoze money off my back, but a lot of this is not intuitive. I find myself looking around a lot. Or maybe Im just not used to it. I
using Suse 9.1 personal.
ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.2-0.i386 -- this is the gui
overnet0.53.3-tim -- this is the overnet command line
PS Is there a program similar to windows explorer (not internet explorer) with a tree view of files somewhere in Suse?
Peacedog, thanks but I went to the site and followed the instructions and got this error:
KDE Man Viewer Error
No man page matching to rpm -i ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.2-0.i386.rpm found. You can extend the search path by setting the environment variable MANPATH before starting KDE.
I search for the packages and the installation tool doesn't seem to recognize that they're there... I've tried every way to get the downloads opened and something that the tool will see...
frustrating!
