RedHat Linux 9 - Errrr....
Hi there,
I recently installed RH Linux 9 and I'm trying to figure it out. I'm working in that graphical environnement (Gnome i guess) and the last couple of days I'm trying to install a MSN Messenger clone, without much succes, I must say. The problem is this: I download a file from a site and it's called "amsn-0.80.tar.gz" . The prob is that I haven't got a clue what to do with it. I doubleclicked on it and unpacked everything in that file, but that didn't help very much. I now have a map with even more files I haven't got a clue of what to do with them... So can someone please explain me in understandable language what I should do with this (and more files of this type) in the future. And what's the equivalent of an .exe file in Linux ? :scratch: I owe the one that can get me on the way bigtime! Greetzzz |
Use GAIM; you can connect to Yahoo, AOL, MSN, IRC ... you name it.

But errr... I only need MSN Messenger :D
But if you can help me with that, is just fine with me :D I've got gaim-0.66-1rh9.i386.rpm now, what do I do with it? |
Open a console, move into the same directory as the .rpm, and type:
rpm -Uhv gaim-0.66-1rh9.i386.rpm You'll need to be logged in as root! Hope this helps :) Nick |
And in regards to amsn as far as I remember once it's unpacked
cd into the directory and type ./amsn that's about it. |
