ok, ive downloaded some programs such as msn linux versions that people have made and some desktop themes.. problem is.. how the freg do you install? which file am i trying to find to start the install???? im just used to my old windows where u just find install.exe.....

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!

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..

no, all the files are something like

blahdeblah.tar.gz

different from rpm right?

I can't remember...you're using MDK 9.2??
