Ok, i got linux yesterday, HOW DO I INSTALL PROGRAMS! the only thing i've succesfully installed is Azureus. im trying to install GCC, but when i click on the configure button, NOTHING HAPPENS! PLZ let me now what im doing wrong.

and and what about python? which program do i use to...........program with python.

and just so im on the same page, python is like C or C++ its a language recognized by the computer. so since C and C+/C++ has Visual Studios, which program do you use to program with Python? GCC? or Kdevelop? and i tried to get Kdevelop, but again i dunno how to install anything, PLZ HELP!

K and i just downloaded Wine, and i wanna know how i install a .rpm file. what do i use?
does wine even work? cause the versions i have seen with the screenshots seem really old.

maybe ask this in the linux section of the forums, you've asked like 4 questions and no one has replied, go ask where they belong.

i thought you knew there was a linux section.

John3,

I wouldn't use wine, it is buggy and slow, if you wanna ame your best bet would be to use Windows.

as for installation of RPMs I will give you an example:

if you wanted to install Mozilla FF after you download the file. Find where the file is located on the System & type:

"cd /home/print/Documents/downloads" (or where ever file is located) then hit enter

next type "su" to go to super user mode. you will be prompted for your root password, enter it at this point.

next, type "rpm -i MozillaFirefox-1.5-0.1.i586.rpm" and hit enter.

this is the Same with Every package you install, However I would strongly reccomend that you do it using YAST, you can do this by searching the SUSE Install CD, to see if it is on the Disk so you Don't have to D/L it.

open the CD under "my computer" and browse to the file
click it and when the next screen comes up you get an option to "install package with yast", click that
input your root password
now you get a screen similar to the one you saw when you first installed suse, the boxes will be mostly empty, or will have info about the package you are installing. it doesn't matter which one you see, it's all ok
now, you click next (or finish)
yast will install the package for you, then it will configure everything properly so it works
click finish and it will be installed

If you want to install Wine on SUSE try this, D/L the file Wine 911 is the latest I think and run the following comand as root

~# rpm -i wine-0.9.11-SuSELinux100.i586.rpm

Hope this helps,
