Seriously lost

Ok, I'll try and do this in order, but bear with me... The reason you'll get the "no such file or directory" error is that bash doesn't like the * wildcard when executing a file - so running ./swsoft_installer* will cause problems (it's down to how it handles the *, a bit complicated to explain in detail here), so the key here is to use the full name. A shortcut for this is if you type the beginning of the file name and then press the "Tab" key once, it should auto-complete the name (or if it doesn't, tap "Tab" twice to list all the files which match what you've typed in so far), to save you typing in a long file name. When you enter commands, generally you should hit enter after each one, so you can see it did what you expected. If you do want to run several commands one after another (say you want to install something from source, doing the old "./configure, make, make install") you can make them execute one after another on the same line by using "&&" between the commands - so for the install from source example it'd become: "./configure && make && make install". As for where to place files, the /tmp directory is just that - a directory for temporary files, don't expect things to stay in here permanently. If you just want to extract a file so you can install it, or read it etc. the "/home/[username]" directory is a good place - it's your home space, so A) you know where things are, and B) things wont go missing (as they may in /tmp) after a reboot. I hope this has helped to clear things up for you. Please let me know if it didn't / you need some more help, etc. Penguin

Penguin, I want to give it a shot at installing though yum. I found it at /etc/yum.repo.d I put this information as a text file in the yum.repo.d folder [sitebuilder] name=Sitebuilder 4.2.0 packages baseurl=http://autoinstall.plesk.com/SiteBuilder/SiteBuilder_4.2.0/dist-rpm-centos-4-i386/ [sitebuilder-updates] baseurl=http://autoinstall.plesk.com/SiteBuilder/SiteBuilder_4.2.0/updates-rpm-centos-4-i386/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Did I do it right?

Let me just get this straight - You're trying to install the "Sitebuilder 4.2.0" software on your machine. You added the repo's to Yum (did it work when you updated yum ?). What happens when you try to install it through yum ("yum install sitebuilder") ? Looking at those files, does the swsoft_installer just download those files, or does it try to install as well ? I would try "rpm -i sitebuilder-4.2.0-all.build08030317.noarch.rpm"
