Hi
First of all i would like to thank all of you that helped with my
previous problem of how to connect to the web on my 5 year old Packard
bell laptop, Mark kindly sent me a Pcmcia, realport type ethernet card
and i am now on the net and having fun with linux. I found the linux
emporium very helpful if you wanted advice on wireless cards etc,and
they sell them.
Now here is my latest problem !!! ( trying not to be a pain)
I am using ubuntu 6.10 linux and downloaded the i386. deb version of
avast antivirus, double clicked file to install, the package installer
ran and then stated installing package. It then told me that the package
was already installed and gave me the chance to reinstall.When i checked
it was not on system, even used file search so i know its not there.
Have i tried to install the wrong version?
It has done this before but also has successfully installed other
packages with no problem.
Could be a case of a newbie not doing the correct thing.
I know some of you will say that there is no need for virus software on
linux, but just experimenting, really need to scan emails.
Thanks again
Barry
