the website says its for linux, but no help file or procedures. id ark it all to a folder, click on the executable., and nothing, can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
You can not install programs on an knoppix running from cdrom,
its an read only file system. If you made an persistant home on you harddisk you can get some source , like for example amsn running.
The one you point out is an rpm (red hat package manager) for red hat /suse/ or mandrake the like. For knoppix you should use deb, or debian packages.
good luck.
Oh i see its an tar file! :)
