now you need to untar it. you can untar a file with a command like this: # tar xvf fp40.linux.tar you could have done both steps as one step (before you gunzip'd it) like this: # tar zxvf fp40.linux.tar.gz > i think i need to use fp_install.sh to install it right? where do i get > fp_install.sh from, and am i going in the right direction? the fp_install.sh script is *INSIDE* the tar ball. you use it to install the actual programs where you need them to work with your apache setup. again, i don't mean to be rude, but if you are a unix newbie (and you certainly seem to be one) this is not a good first project, and it just gets harder and weirder the deeper into it you go. adam.
