ok. your RPM's you want to install are in /home/user/download's/ so this is what you want to do:
Code:
su -
cd /home/user/download's
rpm -ivh blah.rpm
another thing you could try to do is installing APT. Apt is a program that will help you to EASILY install programs and keep your system up to date.
oops, i forgot to add this:
As far as installing gziped archives, do the following....
Code:
tar -xvfz program.version1.3-fdr.tar.gz
cd program_name
less README
less INSTALL
./configure --help
configure options usually look like --enable-blah --disable-blah --with-something
the options vary depending on the program you are trying to install, and many programs require you have other things installed first.
good luck :)
ps: just a tip - the TAB key is your friend. when typing out /directory/structures or file.names.conf the TAB key will auto-complete file/directory names for you. :)
i have installed apt now but how can i start up atp ? i dont see it in the app list
try this as root
apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic
what does that do for you ?
cheers
