Aha... but you'd earlier said: > I am running Mandrake 8.1 (kernal version 2.4.8-26mdk) and I am trying to > download apache (binary) from > >http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/linux/apache_1.3.26-ppc-whatever-linux22.tar.gz ^^^ see the "ppc" there? that stands for "PowerPC", or the architecture of an apple Mac (a recent one - older ones are m68k, for Motorola 68000 chips). You'd need to find the "i386", "ix86" or "x86" one. Now, you're short of space on / , where /root is stored. I'm guessing, *totally* guessing, that you're running things as root, and downloading things as root. I *highly* recommend you *dont* do this. One day, you'll find out the hard way why you dont. Use the user account that the installation set up for you, and if you really need root privileges, use "su -" to gain them.
