Re: [newbie] Console error's?
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. On Thu, 28 Sep 2000 19:43:05 -0700 "olof.liungman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Howdy, 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.

[newbie] commands problems
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.
