1.
no drive letters on linux it have only one big file system. you can mount one of your partition to a directory on the root fs.

read:
man mount
man fstab

2.
Only macromedia flash player exist for linux

3.
install the tools : zip unzip rar unrar

apt-get install zip unzip rar unrar

read: man unrar

4.
download the source .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 format
unpack it
tar xfz something.tar.gz
tar xfj something.tar.bz2

cd something
read the file which named INSTALL

run the configure script
./configure --help
chose the options what you need
run the configure script with the options
./configure --opt1 --opt2 ...
than
make
make install

Please help
I really need to know

See my post here on how to configure "sudo" :
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/deb...tu-5-10-a.html

As for "xarchiver", you don't need to build it from source. Just use the .deb package available here. Or use apt-get to install it :

apt-get install xarchiver

[iwanabeguru]

you need to add a user to /etc/sudoers else the user can not get root permissions.

if the configure script ran without error , its make the makefile.

thx both
But is there a way to see C:/ Drive?

[devils casper]

for reading contents of C: Drive, you have to mount it.

execute these commands in terminal. ( you must be 'root' for to do this. )

mkdir /media/c_drive
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdax /media/c_drive

if C: Drive is FAT32 then replace 'ntfs' with 'vfat', x is C: Drive's partition number. check output of 'fdisk -l' for correct partition. after executing those commands, check c_drive folder in media. you can make it permanent by adding correct mounting line in /etc/fstab file.
