Let me know and thanks!

Wow, simple job! Many thanks!

One more question, Since I learned from feedback such as:

remove folder by rm -rf /usr... whatever

create folder by mkdir /.... whatever...

How do you know the terminal type in root, when I click "help" it didn't show much help??

When i create the folder in /usr/lib/mozzilla by "mkdir" and realized I don't want that folder in /usr/lib/.... and wanted to remove it off...

I tried to use manual by click to remove it... but it said:

Access denied to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-0.10.1/components.ini

Is there possible to do that?? Thanks!

I clicked the link this: http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distr...2mdk.noarch.rpm

after I click install it.... it appeared:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

BitTornado-0.3.8-2mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied python-base[>= 2.4])

do you agree ?

Seems that I need to add some package before Bittorando??

Hey, I will start all over, by remove all Bittorrent files.....

Can you help me to do with first step by step?? Hope you mind? :unsure:

I clicked one of your link to get Bittorando, but my screen showed:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

BitTornado-0.3.8-2mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied python-base[>= 2.4])

do you agree ?

Huh? If too complication, just disregarding... I can try something else... Thanks and hate to waste on this issue again and again...

Thanks again!

Hey, still not success... I decide to remove BitTorrent 3.9.1 then re do with install from Easy Urpmi, Bittorrent 3.4.2....

Guess nothing work....

Wait a minute, I found:

usr/share/man/man1/bittorrent-downloader.1.bz2

/usr/share/man/man1/bittorrent-multi-downloader.1.bz2

/usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2

/usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/LICENSE.txt

/usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/README.txt

/usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/credits.txt

/usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-bittorrent.desktop

/usr/share/mime/application/x-bittorrent.xml

I noticed bittorent-downloader.1.bz2, do I need to type in root for extract it?? If so, what should I type?? tar xvf??

I open a console, log in as root and type: urpmi bittornado). But it said no package named bittorando??? :unsure:

Question for you, I saw Qnext in Java.com and it is P2p.... Seems real new???

I downloaded BitTorrent 3.9.1, but I can't find the application to open up?? I assume that BitTorrent is best as I looked around...

slocated BitTorrent, and got /usr/share/pixmaps/BitTorrent But I don't see any application? I tried to click to open up??

I didn't know LimeWire do have for Linux?? :unsure:

Hi, you brought to my attention since I download from easyurpmi and it works pretty cool so far... But mentioned about not the latest version.

My question, If I can get any program from easyurpmi then go to website to get upgrade it?? For example, I downloaded mozilla-firefox from easyurpmi then can I go to Mozilla.org to find upgrade from there and downloaded for upgrade??

I think download from easyurpmi would be much easier!!! but bit lagging the latest version...

Hey many thanks!

I do run the command and I copy/paste from ln -s /your_path_here/java/j2re1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

now it works... whew...

I closed and reopen the Firefox... the yellow popped out with Install Missing Plugins, still there..

Any clue?

Sorry, I am using Mandrake 10.1 too...

Thanks for reply pbpersson, I just though of current version as possible since when I went to Java Website. The website have showed "verfication software on the right side" (http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp).

I was unable to see the coffee cup which was supposed to be...

RPMDrake, would be nice, but which one??

Heather1113, You were right, most applications are in /usr/bin. Strange, when I click mplayer, it didn't reply HOWEVER, when I right click on movie, to OPEN WITH... I choice Mplayer and it works...

I was wondering how can i control with stop, play, pause and etc....? which application??

Phpersoon, you use different than mplayer?? gmplayer? I try to run with command, but didn't recogized it....

Hope I didn't messed up...

Same thing with me, I installed from RPMDrake (mplayer-1.0.0pre6.7plf but it disappeared after the installation said "installation is completed". But where are they?

BUT I found mplayer folder in /usr/lib, but it doesn't have application in the folder... I am unable to find where mplayer application... You may try to check yours...

Guess somebody can help to find where is the application??

Thanks I tried with online access and it works.... Now, I am relief and enjoy with Firefox surfing as knowing it is currently...

I am student and using online and I found that Mozilla-FireFox showed unable to show the browser version and also the browser version is 5. I tried to get update from RPMDrake, but apparently they don't have update above 6.2 that the online required the version to be above 6.2...

Is there something I can get download to upgrade it?? Which mdk?? Thanks!

I see Java's website that showed current Java 1.5, and So, I see there is several different version for Java from RPMDrake.... I was not sure which one is current version??
