  Hi, I would like to use ppower4. I am using RedHat Linux system, but I do

This may be hard, if a current version of Java is not installed.

  If possible, I would like to install just on my home
  directory and use it only myself.

See the general documentation about the TeX directory structure and
the search path philosophy, to learn about setting up user defined
additions for an installed TeX base (I assume that there is a TeX
package installed on your system).

  I do not have much experience to install, especially, Tex related
  package.

PPower4 is not only TeX related, it is Java related as well.

  The system that I am using doe not contain foil.tex.
  Is it not possible to use slides instead of using foils? If not,
  please tell me what I need to do.

PPower4 is not related to any specific package for creating slides/foils.
If you are used to create your slides with LaTeX, you can continue to
do so and just add some additional commands for the incremental build
of pages.
Foils/foiltex is just the package that we had selected before PPower4
was created. The only reason you might need the foiltex/foils style is
to rerun the examples from the Web page. You can find foiltex.dtx on
CTAN. Do not search for foils.sty!

Enjoy,
Klaus
