Hi Hassath,
Many thanks for your kind and very clearly worded explanation. I think I
understood everything you wrote.
But I got stuck on the very first step. Because I went to the website,
right-clicked on Bolnagri-in tarball (137KB), and chose 'Save link as',
then selected my home directory ("Swarup"). Then I clicked on "save",
and the download window opened and said it had finished the download. I
looked in my home-Swarup directory, but did not see anything there that
looked like it. Anyhow, I thought perhaps either I just didn't know what
it should look like, or perhaps for some reason it is a 'hidden' file.
So I opened a terminal window, and typed cd /home/swarup. Then I typed
tar zxvf bolnagri-in.tgz. It said there is "no such file or directory".
Here below I am pasting the terminal window printout. Please let me know
what I should do next.
Many thanks, Swarup
Here is the terminal window printout:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /home/swarup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar zxvf bolnagri-in.tgz
