how do you install a dir in linux
 

i got the patch i need and i know where to put it . i even got the disk and linux made the folder and now i say
"install mgmt in user/shared/speedtouch and i get a error that i did not do something right. can someone give me the right formatt. i dont know linux at all and i cant stand this stress anymoor.!!!!!

what do u want to install? there are various ways to install prgrms. what format does the file have? is it compressed maybe? give us some details, plz.
for whatever u want to install it´s important that you have permissions to write in the specified directory. u can write into /usr/.. usually logged in as root. or type 'chmod 0777 /path/to /ur/dir' into bash logged in as root. by that you allow any user to write in that directory.
good luck, jens

My guess is that you didnt log into root when you tried to copy the files.

in the console type "su" and then your root password

then type cp <location of file> /usr/shared/speedtouch

what's the error message???:Pengy:
