gz form. First, you must
unpack the tar.gz file; for details on doing this, see section 10.3.1 on
page [*]. Before you can compile the package, you'll need to have gcc,
libc6-dev, and other relevant ``-dev'' packages installed; most of these
are listed in the devel area in dselect.
With the appropriate packages installed, cd into the directory that tar
created for you. At this point, you'll need to read the installation
instructions. Most programs provide an INSTALL or README file that will
tell you how to proceed.
Advanced Topics
By now, you should have a strong base for which to build your GNU/Linux
skills on. In this chapter we cover some very useful information regarding
some advanced GNU/Linux features.
Regular Expressions
A regular expression is a description of a set of characters. This
description can be used to search through a file by looking for text that
matches the regular expression. Regular expressions are analogous to shell
wildcards (see section 6.6 on page [*]), but they are both more
complicated and more powerful.
