Hi Dwain,, - you don't directly install a tar file. It's a packed 'tape archive', aka zip file. We need to now the name of said file, does it end in -tar or -tar.gz or tgz or... Anyhow, if it's -tar.gz you do: Open a shell. I'll asssume you downloaded the -tar.gz file to somewhere within your home directory. You then need to 'untar' the file. Try this: tar xvfz filename.tar.gz or if it doesn't end in a 'z', do this: tar xvf filename.tar This should give you a lot/some files, all located in a directory of their own. Change to this dir. Become root, perhaps by issuing a 'su' Read the README if it's there. Follow whatever instructions are there. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
