[newbie] gcc-3.3.tar.bz2

2003-06-20 Per discussione altraide
Hi ;
I downladed this (gcc-3.3.tar.bz2) from a mirror site in minneapolis. But 
how do i access it? I want to have c, c++, compilers to compile programs. 
I've tried tar, gzip, gunzip, etc, nothing seems to work. It's on my 
desktop.
Thanx for your help again.

Here is where you learn something great about Linux. - 

Virtually every driver for almost all the available hardware is already on 
your system and will be installed automatically. And No you do not need to 
reboot all the time either. 

Just go through the networking wizard in Mandrake Control CentreNetworking, 
and most likely your Ethernet will be working afterwards. The panel in the 
Networking GUI will tell you which driver it is using. Same goes for all the 
other hardware you have. 

If you get problems come back to us.
