might want to type "pico INSTALL", they usually give you steps on how to
compile the programs from source :P tis' my 2 cents


usually they follow the

./configure
make
su root
password: ******************
make install

and you're usually done :P (with exception to kernel's)

a good reference is linuxdoc.org
