HELP! Mandrake Newbie setup client

[bdog]

first download the client, then change into the directory where it is and type tar xvf *.tar this will uncompress the file. Next type ./rc5des (I think this is the file name but not sure, if not just type ./ followed by the name. The normal cli window will then pop up and you can set it up from there as usual.

This is the latest one to download for your linux.

rc5des443d-linux-x86-elf-mt-glibc20.tar.gz

gunzip rc5*.gz
tar -xvf rc5*.tzr

To get it to run on startup. Just create an icon in the Autostart folder pointing to rc5des.

Virus is right, I thought the file was just tarred, but now I remember it is also gziped, so type gunzip rc*.gz
then tar -xvf rc*.tar I think Virus had a typo with "tzr" it should be "tar"
then ./rc5des

Hey guys I need someone to walk me thru "How to install" the cracking client on my new Mandrake 6.0 computer. (I do have internet access on it now so I can download the client but HOW do I install it?)

Thanks

Wanted to thank both of you guys for all the "hand holding" that you have done with me getting it setup. I got it installed (used the one that I found) and got it to update the buffers so I think it's a crack'n! Thanks again! [img]/forum/biggrin.gif[/img]
