[xotix]

what did you install??

 

[horndude]

installpkg beotchX.tgz all there is to it in slackware

redhat or fedora its rpm -i packagename

 

[winblowz]

I got the tar.gz version, read the install readme, then I had to from my xterm do a series of commands like "make check" "make install" etc from the source directory. Then I had to find the program, which in my case was in /usr/lib/bin or something like that.

It was really nice though! I now file like I kind of know what I'm doing.



thanks to all those people that helped me with extracting!!
