Hi..
well.. i managed to connect to other cmputer using smbclient. and its great...

but i wanna ask more:
first how do i extract tar.gz files???

secondly.. lets say that i wanna compile new kernel..
or install new version of netscape..
i allways had  problems to compile.. i dont know why...

thanks.,.
to extract tar.gz or tgz files, you should use tar with -xzvf options "enabled":

 tar -xzvf file.tgz

With you kernel compilation problem,maybe if you give us more details about thererrors you're obtaining it will be easy to help you.

Installing netscapen, idem,... more information we have, the best we can help you...
