How do I use an extension ??
« on: December 28, 2010, 02:55:21 PM »
I am a COMPLETE novice when it comes to all this linux and tinycore stuff, so I'm looking for some rudimentary direction.

I have mounted my drive (hda1), downloaded an extension (rdesktop), backed up, and gotten it all to successfully persist after a reboot.

How do I now "call" or "run" that extension??

Thanks-a-bunch (in advance ;))

Since rdesktop is a command-line app, there won't be a menu item or icon. Launch it from the terminal.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

OK, this is what i tried:
In terminal, I typed cd /mnt/hda1/tce/optional, which was successful.
Then ls, which returned a small list, including rdesktop.tcz.

Then I simply typed rdesktop.tcz and hit enter.
To which it responded sh: rdesktop.tcz: not found

What am I missing??
