so..
what should i write if the file's name is:
oOo_2.0.1_he_install_linux_rpm_20060402.sh

??

should i enter the terminal and write:
$ sh <oOo_2.0.1_he_install_linux_rpm_20060402.sh>
??
plz explain me... i hardly know what is the terminal.. and i still trying to figure how the directory/file system works.....

and another thing.... i've found the windows directory.. and it says that i dont have premission to write.... how do i change it... if its possible..

home is your working directory when you open a terminal.so yes type
sh oOo_2.0.1_he_install_linux_rpm_20060402.sh

if you have automounted windows partition and if is ntfs..you cannot write with it .for writing into ntfs you need special modules...check this

if is fat than change umsk permissions in /etc/fsatb
