Please don't give incorrect advice. Just about every distribution nowadays has ways to download and install the appropriate packages from repositories in one step, and the OP should be using those (apt-get/aptitude, yum, etc.) instead of downloading packages manually. Even the dpkg command above is incorrect, and deb packages have extension (surprise!) .deb and not .dpkg. > For novice I suggest to use Ubuntu (above 8) > and for installing any package just write > apt-get install <package-name> That sounds slightly better (except for the Ubuntu part, but that's just my opinion :) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur r...@kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
