i have linux installed on my harddrive, so i gues inStalling new apps is more than possible.
how do i install .tar and other file types ? .tar doeS not seam to be executeable.

thx for your help by tHe way. will try to just execute java and flash.

it is to bed that no tutorials can be found on the internet thaT teach the evryday usage of linux..
forums on how to instal linux it sel do exists, but man... most of them just made me more confused..

trouble shooting guides are my favorites.. anno with gentoo i got stuck... rlt8139 lan card was not
detected... the trouble shooter guide only told to do a lspci or what.
lspci told me what i already figured out. lan card was not autodetected..

well, anyway, i would also like to know how non executeAble files can be installed.
such as .tar, ..deb, etc...

what gives if want to use opera as browser? the download menu does not shows knoppix, just
other distributions....

best would be a tutorial showing alll types that are installable (.tar, .deb...etc) with the methood to use
them.
