Help installing Netscape
Dear friends,
I have hesitated to ask this simple question here, but after quite along
time, my head is sore from banging it against the wall . . .
Several problems:
* I downloaded 16 MB from
ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicaotr/english/4.72/unix/supported/linux20_glibc2/complete_install/
communicator-v472-export.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz
* At least it was close to that!
* I waited for it to ask me where it would put it, having read that
it should go into /tmp. It didn't ask, just started coming at me,
so I left it alone. All night.
* Now I can't find it. I've tried locate with lots of permutations,
but to no avail. Where are things put by default? Is it possible
there was a problem with the dl, and that it isn't here?
* I have read with interest the messages to newbies about using the
help before writing messages like this, but I actually need more
help before I can make us of the help. when I go to /usr/doc and do
ls, I do see all the help, but I don't know how to open it.
Another question:
* I have installed Gnome/Enlightenment. Maybe. I have a terminal
window glued to the upper left corner of the screen that I can't
figure out how to minimize or banish.
* There are almost no apps available. Do I need to install things
like a word processor and a spreadsheet separately? They aren't
part of Gnome?
That's plenty for now!
Thanks you so much.
