When you download, pay attention to the name of the file and which directory it was downloaded to. I presume you downloaded RPMs? Do a google on "How to install Linux RPM" and you should find a wealth of info on how to do it which would probably be more detailed than I can do here. If you come up empty, check back in and I'll try to help more when I have more time. Good Luck! smile

 

edit: If you are using MDK 9.2 you can "click" on the rpm from either nautilus or konqueror and it should start the process..
