 |
|
G'Day there, I consider myself a novice not only with linux but with Computers as well .Very late starter,AnyWay I am keen to learn what I can & have had some success with tar.gz's depending on how or where it had to be installed from etc but have never had succes installing tar.bz2 pkgs etc for some reason.
I also tried googling on how best to do this but I couldnt get this to work 4 me. AnyWay could someone be kind & patient enough to give me a tutorial on what I have to do to get Lunar on to a CD, . I have downloaded Lunar to
"/home/hutchy/downloads1/lunar-1.5.1-i686.iso.bz2" while in root at the time.
Now can someone use this folder to give me example I need using exact words
I have installed different versions of linux So hopefully if I can get this distro burnt to disk then hopefully I will be right installing it..Thanks AnyOne

You will need to type | Code: | | bunzip /home/hutchy/downloads1/lunar-1.5.1-i686.iso.bz2 |
then if it successfully extracts(you shouldnt see any errors), you can then burn the ISO, then boot from it, and install. 
If you need some help burning, you might look into an app called K3b. I think it is the easiest to use as far as burning apps go.[/code] |

Hi ,Thanks 4 reply , unfortunatly I get the similar error I would get 4 some unknown reason when installing tar.gz's, never could work out why, but this is out put when I try tarballing
root@MY-BRAIN:/home/hutchy# bunzip /home/hutchy/downloads1/lunar-1.5.1-i686.iso.bz2
bash: bunzip: command not found
I usually get "Command not found" or with tar.gz pkgs I get " no such file or directory" THe path I gave is correct so why would I get this error , any suggestions? |

Oops, my bad, a typo on my part, try
| Code: | | bunzip2 /home/hutchy/downloads1/lunar-1.5.1-i686.iso.bz2 |
If you get a similar error, it will mean you do not have the bzip2 package installed for your current distro. Not knowing which distro you are using, I wouldnt know the easiest way to resolve that. |

I actually was worried though ,I checked with kwrite and found no changes but then I closed Kwrite & opened anotherone -Kate & its been uncompressed it now seems " .iso" Thanks 4 your great help probably would of been scratching my head for hours otherwise? now I hopefully can work this distro out ' Sounds Interesting from reviews" |
