May the Lord Our God bless you Olf.Liungman.
First of all I want to thank you for your grate desire to help me. And
yes I did try that command but it did not work. But last nigh ,the Lord
had mercy on me,by allowing me to see exactly where the problem was ,it
wasn't the commands or what I did ,it was with the cdrom disk that didn't
have the program "linux-acrobat40.And since I purchase before another
version of linux  cd's(Caldera) I tried the 3rd cd that it says that
include acroreader and it worked. Praise the Lord  !,what a relief ! 
After that ,I manege to put the icon for the application on the desktop
but it doesn't execute the program ,do you have any input in that?
And for the rest of the newbies,when you face this type of situations
make sure that the program is really in the cd disk ,that way you don't
have to go trough so much anguish,and headaches.And thinking aloud,I just
wonder if this cd/'s are inspected before they rich the consumers.
Thanks again to all and Blessings.
Carlos.

 Have you tried to just unzip the tar-file first, using 'gunzip
 filename.tar.gz' or 'gzip -d filename.tar.gz' or something similar 
 (I'm
 still learning the apps in Linux; I'm used to Solaris)? Then you can 
 run
 'tar -xf filename.tar' separately to unpack the archive.

  Hello! estimados amigos de newbie(dear friends)
  I'm having some problems installing "acroreader405.tar" and this 
 is the
  situation if I go by the book "LM7.0 Getting Started Manual" I'd 
 try :
  tar xvf  linux -ar-405.tar.gz -the answer is :"tar old option "f "
  requires an argument - try :tar --help for more info"
  According to MUO'S how to " Installing Non-RPm programs" the 
 example they
  used is "acrobat reader405" the same that I have. following the 
 steps to
  unpack the archive I wrote:
   tar xzf linux-ar-40.tar.gz " .Console answer.."tar {child}:cannot 
 open
  archive linux' ' ' '  No such file or dir.." tar {child} :error is 
 not
  recoverable :exiting now  "
  and the story goes on.. even if I type " tar vzxf " commands 
 (according
  to Flupke) but the results are the same. the cdrom works okay ,but 
 not
  the command line..
  What I have is LM7.0 -Complete" running (along) in 13.6 gig Maxtor
  -CyrixInstead 6x86MX  64RAM .233 Mh. Can you tell  me what is the
  problem? I'm fighting this for 3 months .
  In advance let me thank you for your patient and your kindness.
  Blessings.
  Carlos

[newbie] commands problems

2000-09-21 Per discussione charlsplant

Grace and peace to all of you from our Lord!
And thanks for your great effort , helping us so patiently ,ex planing
and teaching and supporting each person directly or not directly with
your answers. From which I learned
couple things.
Perhaps my next question is a matter of common sense,which I strongly
practice,but I realize that common sense is not so common to everyone not
always and I admit it starting with me. So forgive us and forgive me.
Now can you tell me why ?when I try to install an rpm from the Command
line (Konsole)and I type :"./configure " ,or " make" ,"xmkmf" the konsole
 tells me :"No such file or directory,or Command not found,no target
,stop? all I want to do is install the driver for my sound card
(alsa)following the instructions but it doesn't worked and other staff
that downloaded it.
Any suggestions?
Your help will be gratefully welcome ,thanks. Blessings
Carlos





[newbie] Bravooo Carol !Bravo Dennis!

Is this a mailing list for people who want to learn ? about linux? and to
get help ?
I think we need more people like Carol and Dennis, with open
minds,kindness and understanding,people who really care,and with desire
to share their experience and knowledge with others in fact ,is not that
what life is?a continues learning from each other?
no matter what color,nationality or cultural background. So lets grow
together do not deprive me and others the privilege to learn from You,the
good things.
I love you in Jesus Carol and Dennis and I love you all my prayers are
with you for a better understanding.
Blessings.
Carlos Alexander.
