Hi,all you linux fans.I was wondering how would you install a program such as netscape- i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz.Please teach me step by step cause i'm really new at this,and i really mean really new.Thankz

1) First you need to uncompress it: # tar -zxvf netscape- i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz 2) This will then modt likely create a folder called "netscape- i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer", change directory into this folder. # cd netscape- i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer 3) See what is in the folder # ls 4) Read any README or INSTALL files in there, eg: # less README 5) Usually now you would compile and install the program, but I think what you have for nutscrape is an online installer. Have a look in the folder for an executable and then run it, eg: # ./netscape-installer 6) Follow the instaructions. You may need to become root in order to install it. If so: # su then enter root's password. You are now logged in as root. As mentioned in 5), the usual way of compiling/installing is as follows: # ./configure # make # su enter root's password # make install You can now remove the install files: # cd .. # rm -Rf netscape- i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer Don't forget to log out of root at the end...just hit Ctrl&D

Depending on your Linux Distribution you could also download a RPM package. This is very easy to install (just by clicking).
