Simple guide to installing
Could someone give me a really simple guide to installing new programs through .tar.gz's, .tar's and .deb's?
I'm using Knoppix 3.6 Thanks |

No, a guide to installing PROGRAMS/APPLICATIONS not the whole OS - I've already done that.
I'm used to the "Windows Installer" - choose a few options and it does it all for you. I appreciate that Linux is not like this, however I just can't figure out how to properly install new software. |
man apt-get also see if this helps ; http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap.../index.en.html

apt is a very clever bit of software, but to be able to do more than just install stuff you'd have to read up on it. Install is either Code:
apt-get xxxxx Code:
apt-get install xxxxx HTH regards John |
