Re: Communicator Installation
OK, I ran dselect and ran the Netscape set up program and the program tells me in
order to work it needs the Communicator file to be in the tmp directory. While as
root I tried to move the file again to the /tmp directory. I tried different
variations I am entering, mv /root/communicator-'the rest of the file name' /tmp
what I get is, "No such file or directory." I have used cd /tmp and verified I have
such a directory and used, locate communicator and it lists the file as
/root/communicator-'the rest of the file name'. I have a book I am looking at and I
think I am using the command mv correctly. I also tried to use cp thinking I could
copy the file to the /tmp directory. I got the same result, "No such file or
directory." What is going on here? Help!
Thanks,
Kent
