As a novice myself, I have ran into this issue- there is no simple answer, because there are several ways to install files. If the prog will allow, RPM (Redhat Package Manager) will allow you to install Other programs are in compressed format, and must be uncompressed before opening. Each program should include a How To file which should answer this question on an individual basis. Hope that helps. Good luck. Pete "That which does not kill us pisses us off".
