[Bonster]

hummm trying to install a bit-torrent client on knoppix.

I spent a few hours searching and still dont get it. Need Help plz

i got Alien installed. (i think)
"apt-get install alien"

need to no how to install rpm files now <<<-----------------------

THIS FILE: http://bittorrent.com/ (Linux rpm)

OMG is so hard to install a simple program on Linux =)

you wont belive this but the command to install rpm files is rpm. try to get the deb files if you can and install it with dpkg.

rpm -i somefile.rpm
or
dpkg -i somefile.deb

read the man pages for both rpm and dpkg.

Since bittorrent is in the debian package repository http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/s...ll&release=all
How about:
apt-get install bittorrent
Or you can use klik http://klik.atekon.de/details.php?se...age=bittorrent

I hope this helps.

It says it is install im sure of that and i even Dl the bittorrent-gui.deb and install that also.

But, usually in Windows after u install something a new icon is created for that program on the desktop.

normaly executable files go in /bin or /usr/bin the bin is for binary. to check just do

ls  /bin | grep bit
