I know to install programs in linux from the command line you first need to know which package management system the distro uses if any at all. If the filename end in .rpm then you have an RPM package management system originally use and developed by RedHat. If your files end in .deb then you have a debian package management system. If they end in .tgz, .gz, .tar, .bz2 then you don't really have a package management system. But it ends in .package...is it possible to upload it as an executable...

XxRaVeNxX Member	# Posted: 11 Sep 2009 14:08 Still having some issues...if someone could be kind enough to upload the contents of the package in .rar or .zip to megaupload or fileden..I would definitely appreciate it...Thanks it, will only take 5 minutes of your time...
Guillaume Moderator	# Posted: 11 Sep 2009 14:59 ehm... I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work... what happens when you're trying to install the .package? on the other hand, yabause is packaged for a number of linux distros: debian, ubuntu, fedora, etc. did you checked if there was a package for your distro?

Guillaume Moderator	# Posted: 12 Sep 2009 20:32 Ok... so either you manage to install the .package or you'll have to install from sources.
XxRaVeNxX Member	# Posted: 13 Sep 2009 19:25 I don't think I can install from the package since DSL only recognizes .dsl extensions, theres no way to just make it an executable like windows?
Guillaume Moderator	# Posted: 13 Sep 2009 20:12 did you even took a look at the link to the autopackage website? .package are executable, they're trying to be cross distro packages and may be the closer thing you can get to "an executable like windows".
XxRaVeNxX Member	# Posted: 13 Sep 2009 20:15 Yea, I did...but DSL doesn't recognize them....so pretty much i can't play yabause right
