Thanks to everyone who replied to my reply re. Internet Explorer - I get the
hint that it ain't gonna work :-) The main thing I really wanted it for was
to be able to use my old Outlook Express e-mails; I guess I'll have to
export and then import them into a Linux mail program instead then.
Next question: how do I install new programs on Linux? I've found the
"Upgrade" option and that works fine for stuff held on one of the upgrade
FTP sites. However, I've tried downloading a few programs ("packages" in
Linux-speak?), and once they've been downloaded I can't seem to get any
further. The one I'm particularly interested in downloads as a .gz file,
i.e. a zipped one. If I click it it unzips itself- fine. I then open the
folder with the unzipped stuff and click on the file called "Setup" or
"Install" or something like that, and it gives me an error message saying
"cannot open the file". Am I doing the right things and have just downloaded
the wrong installation file? It's not a .zip file so I'm quite sure I
haven't downloaded the Windows installer by mistake. Any help would be
great!
Thanks
Eric
