Can anyone tell me how to install a program with a gz extension after
I unzip it. I try double clicking on a n executable file and nothing
happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated..just trying to get
away from Windows


A specific example of one file. Most of those I run into are the source
code for a package (but that's what I download). Try using Midnight
Commander to see what's in it first before you copy anything:

<user>#mc

at which point you get an win explorer (or norton commander for those
who know) type screen) use your cursor keys to switch to the directory
of the file (tab to change from left to right panes) enter to enter (or
exit with the /.. file) a directory and then press enter on the file
when you get there. You can view any file with F3 (the single key not
"F" "3") and exit viewing with F10 (same as above).


Oh, and F10 to exit midnight commander.
