installing client in Linux FAQ

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Edit: this is the official FAQ, but is getting kind of dated. most of it works, It is what I used to install the client a few months ago.

Adul,

If you're running Mandrake, it's a piece of cake. Open the "Home" icon, and browse over to the folder where you downloaded the tar ball. Right click it, and select "archiver". Then from the menu, select file/extract to. Pick the directory you want it to be in, check the box that says "preserve permissions", and click OK. You're done.

Now, open up a terminal, change directories to where it has been extracted. If logged in as root, type ./dnetc and hit enter. If not as root, it would just be dnetc and enter. From there, it's just like setting it up in Windows.

....then you need to go to your process management viewer, and make sure the "Dang Archiver" program shut down properly.
If it hasn't, Kill it, cuz it'll hog about half your CPU time if it's left running.

I know from my early days at Linux, it's real depressing coming back to see you don't have squat blocks done.
