hi, every linux superior here. I'm linux newbie, and i just install the linux fedora 3 on my system AMD64, but i don know how to install the program like firefox 1.03 on Fedora system, it's not simply like windows just double click on the file and install it , did i have to open terminal x type the command ?? wht command i should type ?? and 1 more question, it is possible browse/share the windows file on linux system ? even i has create the /. and swap partition. <its much appreciate to guide me>>....

Latest firefox is 1.0.4.
And it doesn't come in rpm.
We can download the tar.gz from firefox website.

tar -xvzf it, and run the install script inside the directory.

Of course we can view windows file inside linux. All the time dude.

It is very very very easy.

Cheers!

really like your attitude dude. i'm also a newbie an i've experiance how newbie question was answered by sifu and gurus. really appreciate if more ppl like u here

for moonlight001:
i suggest you go to find rpm instead of tarbal file to install application couse it easier. just double click and u can install em. better if u find rpm according to your distro.

for tarbal:


cd to the directory


done!!!

must do in root. correct me if i've type wrong code. so long already since i install software

i assume that you're using NTFS file system.

first, create a folder first using this command,
mkdir /media/windows

to mount the NTFS system manually, go to root terminal and type
mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o umask=0222

please bear in mind that you only can read NTFS file system, no write or editing are allowed since there's limited support for NTFS on Linux.
