If you are trying to enter a directory (you can't enter files) from the command line, simply use this command:

cd nameofyourdirectory

The error message you gave leads me to believe you put a slash "/" in front of your command, which wouldn't work.

2- how i can install winrar + how i can unrar a file ?

First of all, you will not be able to install any Microsoft Windows programs in Linux without some sort of special third-party software. Linux is not the same thing as Microsoft Windows and it will not natively run Windows programs.

However there is a Linux utility called unrar that will do just as its name suggests. You can usually find it in your distribution's repository. If you're using Debian (I assume since you posted in this section) you should be able to get it with this command:

su <enter key>
Password: <enter your root password>
apt-get install unrar

3- can i modify a TXT file in linux ?

You modify text files in Linux the same way you do anywhere else: with a text editing program. Note that Linux does not use file extensions, so pretty much any file could potentially be a text file (it doesn't need .TXT after it).

Some relatively simple text editors are nano and pico. If you're interested in learning some more complicated (but more feature-rich) ones, you can look into emacs and vi as suggested above.

The proper command is apt-get. "Apt-gat" is only useful if you want your computer to assemble and spit out a loaded automatic weapon. It's a little-used feature, mainly in Detroit, Michigan.

Seriously though, "apt-get" is the proper command.

1- i want to run a .exe file .. how i can run it ?
<< the file i want to run isn't a setup for a software

EXE files are not native to Linux, as we've told you before. The only way to run them is using a third program called WINE, and even then it's not guaranteed to work. I would suggest you try and find a Linux-native program that will do the same thing. What program are you trying to run?

I don't use FileFront, so I can't really help you there.

ummmm


finally i install unrar however .. now when i unrar a file this error came on T_T


unrar: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by unrar)

what's GLIBC 2.4 ?

and where i can find it ?

finally where do i put it if i found it ?

What program are you trying to run?

Try this command:

apt-get install build-essential

That will install most of the necessary software you need to compile things. Perhaps unrar will be okay after that.

Q :

Yes, just run this:

apt-get install firefox

Log in as root user first:

su - < press enter >
Password: < enter your root password > < press enter >

Then run your apt-get commands. (Do not type the instructions in < >)
How did you install Debian? CD? DVD? Net install?

[coopstah13]

there is no firefox for debian, you have to install iceweasel, which is firefox under the hood with some minor icon changes
