Default Re: Installing Ubuntu 5.10 over Suse 9.3

How much RAM does your machine possess?
For mounting d and e drives you will have to make 2 more mount points like one you made for c drive i.e. /media/windows/ for eg. /media/windows_d for d drive and /media/window_e for e drive.
Cna you give me the exact file name of the software? If it ends in .tar.gz or .tar.bz2, it can be a source file. FIrst it had to be unzipped and untarred usng following command
Code:
tar xzvf <filename>  //for .tar.gz files
tar xvjpf <filename>  /for .tar.bz2 files
Then you will need to compile it. For compiling veiw the readme file in the folder you extracted. To do that you will have to install gcc which isn't installed by default in ubuntu.
Ubuntu is based on debian. So, the native installer file is .deb files. To install a downloaded .deb file use the following command
Code:
sudo dpkg -i <filename>
Also, you can download files from internet using the following command
Code:
sudo apt-get install <program name>
