Er..., Installer..? rpms..? I thought you just navigated to the file and ran

Ok. what am I doing wrong, Jeff.? :-)

Be gentle with me. I'm new to linux.
I'been swatting up a bit and have read a pdf I downloaded from a Linux site.
It's old pdf though but it's just a general intro to the file system and

swatting I think.
