Hi

can someone please explain to me how to install a software application in linux?

i have a cd with asterix on it. i am reasonably sure that i would be able to install it once i have it on the harddrive(i attended an asterix course recently) but currently the asterix software is zipped and on a cd.

can anyone tell me how i move the program from the cd to a directory called usr/src and unzip it? unfortuanately the course included the bare minimum amount of linux and i simply dont know how to access the cd drive.

linux doesnt apear to have any drive names as in windows. and even once i have the cd drive how do i specify the hard drive?
... what society overwhelmingly asks for is snake oil. Of course, the snake oil has the most impressive names —otherwise you would be selling nothing— like "Structured Analysis and Design", "Software Engineering", "Maturity Models", "IPSE", "MIS", "OO", "BPRE".... by Edsger W. Dijkstra
