nope, don't have a mozilla directory

progress yes! lol... the problem was to change directories I was typing "ls" and not "cd" lol... stupid me, it's like irc dcc sessions.... ok... well.. I press enter and it says to enter a valid installation path... I think it's because I use Konqueror

so where is the installation path of Konqueror?

ok it's asking me for the installation path of my browser... but I don't know how to tell it where it is, I don't know what to type to tell it it's in ext2

did you untar (extract files from the tar archive) the files ???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes, but that doesn't matter cause I can't even get in the desktop dir for some reason, anyway, I'm gonna go eat i'll be back later... sorry for being such a newb :P

From the command line, type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know that.. but if I type

ls Desktop/flash

then press enter then type

./flashplayer-intaller

it doesn't do anything... if I type dir after typing

ls Desktop/flash

it shows me as if I'm still in the home directory it'll say

Desktop TMP

and if I type

ls Desktop

then type

ls flash

to go in the flash directory it will just say no such file or directory..

I want to do it from the command line...

this is what I do

I click on the little computer screen in the taskbar called terminal program and then once in there I type

su root

then I enter the password then I type

ls Desktop/flash/flashplayer-installer

it acknowledges that it's there but it just doesn't do anything

./flashplayer-installer

or bash flashplayer-installer (depends on the install file)

and yes, remember to install as root

 

-> su root

enter password

./flashplayer-installer

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ok I made myseld root and it still doesn't work?

Are you logged in as root?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hmmm, I don't know :s

I'm trying to install flash from the command line... the folder is on my desktop so I navigate there by typing

ls Desktop/flash

this bring me in the directory and then I type this, witch is what it tells me to type in the readme once in the directory

flashplayer-installer

and nothing happens

are there any torrent programs for linux?

with windows it used my pci... but linux uses my built in sound card and I want to use my sound blaster pci... how do I go about doing this? thanks :P

oh, and do you also know how I can access my fat32 partition and play mp3s?

witch one would be best? and where do I get them?

is there a way to get msn messenger on linux?

yeah of course if u will install mandrake with windows on double boot , make also a fat32 partition or convert one ,i have one for about 5 gb so when i want to store things that i want to see on linux but also on winsucks i save it on there and no problems at all , but if u only want to read then leave it ntfs :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

so then I'll have my fat32 partition and then my swap partition and then my Ext2 partition right?

partition magic is automaticly putting it to EXT2 so I should change it to EXT3? and I will still be using windows, I want to save all my files and stuff from linux on thi partition(fat32) so I can still access some of them on windows... so 99gigs would wrong for this EXT3 partition right?

alright, so how big should I make the other partition?

oh and I'm using partition magic for this... what's the difference between primary and logical?

So if I convert the partition to FAT32 I can read and right to it? that's sweet, I'll do it right now, lol

the HD that I want to partition is 160 gigs... I have 100 free and I have 1534mb of ram so that's 3.068 gigs for the swap partition right?

How big should I make my linux partition?

Will I be able to access it and listen to the music and watch the movies that I have on there?

sorry if this question comes up allot
