):P What are the steps to follow in extracting/unpacking files in Ubuntu 8.04?
Right-click the file and select "Extract Here". Assuming you are talking about some kind of compressed archive file (.zip, .tar.gz, .rar etc).
If that doesn't help, you might want to expand your question a bit to better describe what you are trying to do.
...and also I have to ask, is there a specific reason why you are using such old and outdated release as 8.04? It's not supported for anything else than servers any more, and even that support will end in a few months...
Yes, that will probably help; I will have to try that out. Thank you. I am just trying to re-install Flash Player 9 again after having removed it from the repository. Extracting a file is just usually the next step after downloading an update, for example.Quote:

The reason why I'm using release 8.04 is because it came with my netbook, which has been a trusted friend for so, so long, but will soon be my secondary computer. I need something with more memory and a larger hard drive, hence my getting a new one with a different OS.
Err... not with Linux systems!Quote:

That was something I was unaware of, because whenever I download something to my particular system, it doesn't automatically work, as in another OS of which I will not mention here...! Nonetheless, I still adore my Linux system.Quote:
