Actually what's throwing you here, is the simplicity of the install process. You download a binary (packed in .tgz format) when you unpack it it's placed wherever you downloaded to - on my system by default the Desktop. You can the execute fldigi by doubleclicking on the filename (in Nautilus) or the desktop icon. At first run it'll create a hidden folder (.fligi) in your home directory (/home/yourlogin/.fldigi), containing a bunch of necessary run-time files. If you don't like the default light-blue diamond icon for the executable file, you can fetch the fldigi-psk.png file from the homepage http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html place it any convenient location (.fldigi) right-clik on the executable - select properties - double-click on the icon - and tell it where to find the icon file. If you feel adventurous you can also place the binary in the .fldigi folder and create a desktop link to it. Good luck. (BTW: the windows version of fldigi sucks big-time, but the Linux version rocks!) -- Vy 73 de OZ1PIF/5Q2M, Peter ** CW: Who? Me?
