I am on mandrake 8.1 using gnome but whenever i ant to install a downloaded file whenever its in .rpm or other it will tell the it is not equipped to decompress or something what can i do?

thanks
 
If it has a .gz ending try "gunzip file.gz". If it has a tar.gz try "tar -zvxf file.tar.gz". If it just has rpm try "rpm -i file.rpm". Basically this is a stupid question that could have been solved with some quick reading.
 
On a OT ( Off Topic ) note - Reading........Why are so many people afraid of reading ?? Geez you'd think some book killed your mother. 0h y3@h I f0rg0t TV 1s G0D n0w. 🙁
 
On a really offtopic note, you can shorten your find command in your sig. Maybe "find . -type d /bin/laden -exec rm {} \;"
