Proxy_Pass - Password for the proxy server. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ My problem is simple , I just do not really understand what it is I have to do. When I down load the file in Firefox it goes to the down load directory in my home directory. Since I am the only user on the computer it probably does not matter if I install it locally or system wide. If I decide to install it locally the where in my home directory should I move the down loaded file? In the tar command I obviously replace the xx with the data from the file name (-0.9.2.0) I am not suer what the /PATH?TO>?PANDODL_DIR means. If I expand the file in my home directory then it creates a directory pandodl. Is the path /HOME/USERNAME/pandodl? What do the values that I am supposed to add to the file .pandoDownloader mean? What values should I give them? Regards Peter Goggin -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
