From the Software Management option, choose Add new software and you get a list of all software you haven't installed yet. Choose any one and hit install.<br> <br> In more generic terms, most software for Linux comes in "RPM" files. These are compressed archives containing the program files together with a setup script. You can install an RPM file directly from the file manager by clicking on it.<br> <br> If it's a magazine CD or something, you should check the instructions that come with the magazine.<br> <div class="moz-signature"><br> <hr style="height: 2px; width: 60%; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;" noshade="noshade"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramon Casha</span><br> <small>Malta Linux User Group (<a href="http://linux.org.mt";>http://linux.org.mt</a>)</small><br> </div> </body> </html> - --------------------------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the linux mailing list.
