Anthony:

Let's clarify this discussion by narrowing down the task to one example.  In other words, pick one application that you would like to install, but can't; we'll go from there.  Linux gets much easier once one gets over its myriad features and learns to focus on just one issue at a time.

Subject: [Plug] A few more developed questions....

Heya all,
    Let me first ask to sooth my nerves, did you all learn how to do this 
stuff in a few months?  Or did it take a few years?  I hope it took a few 
years cause in the few months I have being using Linux I feel like I have 
taken more steps backward then forward.  :)  That being said I have a 
question regarding installing and configuring stuff that you download from 
the net.  I got them to unpack, or un archive.  The K desktop comes with a 
God sent utility that does it for me.  And being the point and click person 
that I am when they start getting into unpile this, untar that, ./configure 
this, i get lost right away.  :)  So is there a man page for all this stuff 
that is on the HD that I am not aware of?  I am using Caldera open linux 2.2 
I think.  I have reviewed a number of times the READmes that come with the 
stuff and I still cannot seem to get it to work.  I think thats it... sorry 
for the ramblness of the run on paragraph.

Regards

Anthony
