How the heck do I install a ".tar.tz"
RPMs are dead easy, just use YaST.  I just found CorelPhotoPaint ... one program I know insidout ... and its free for Linux

WinZip and WinRar can do it for windows, although I guess thats not much help is it
 Tag.gz are native Linux formats I think, so it should be a common enough app

HA!
Ok, I'll make it a little clearer, as I know how to 'extract' ... you just right click and extract to where you like. But I don't know how to install it. Nevermind ... it has a Linux installer, but I'm missing some file.  Amazing how many jobs one can do at the same time.

That's the main reason I don't ask questions, usually figure it out before someone comes up with an acceptable answer.

Just to let you all know ... you need to burn CorelPhotoPaint to CD ... it then installs just like a windows program.
 Damed If I can get BitTorrent .RPM to work though.
