Im dum

Pardon me for being completely dum but how to u install programs on solaris 10? I've just created a unix drive cuz Ive had enough of windows. Is unix all command line based?

Im trying to install limewire & macromedia flash but I dont know how to.

Also, does anyone know where I can get the unix drivers for my nvidia geforce 6600GT & soundblaster live please?

Sorry bout this but Im completely new to unix & dont know where to start.

Thx alot

to install software on solaris you need the pkgadd command... to install a package (you have downloaded) simply type "pkgadd -d {package name}"
you can download a debian apt like tool at http://www.blastwave.org" called "pkg-get". this tool downloads and installs software from their repository.
i don't have problems with my nvidia card... the drivers that comes with solaris 10 worked fine for me.
