Hi,

Can someone give me a step -by- step guide to installing Mosfet Liquid for
KDE3 on SuSE Linux 8.0.

1) download it
2) Do the following:

# gzip -d mosfet-liquid0.9.X.tar.gz < Replace X with correct version number
# tar xvf mosfet.liquid0.9.X.tar          
# cd mosfet.liquid0.X.X
# configure --prefix=/opt/kde3
# make
# make install

(BTW: RTFM! or rather RTFIOTWP (RTF Instructions On The Web Page)!!   :-)

(OK OK, you probably did that and it didn't work 'cuase the
--prefix=/opt/kde3 bit isn't mentioned anywhere, but then you should've
said "HELP! I followed the instructions on the web page and it doesn't work
in SuSE 8.0!!" - now it just looks like you're lazy!)

Just one minor thing:

to "unzip" a gziped tar ball:

tar -xzf [file]

that does both operations in one step.  THe z is for piping it through
gzip.  i or j (j seems to be the newest way of doing it for whatever
reason) will pipe a bziped tarball through bzip to extract the files.

I just thought I'd point that out.
