I have been following the excellent Linux smp guide, but now im stuck. I am stuck on altering the filename in the instructions below. which part do I change and to what.

Thanks

Open up a Terminal window and enter the following.

cd ~
wget -c "http://fahmon.net/downloads/current.php?linux"
tar xjvf FahMon-2.x.x.tar.bz2

Note: Be sure to alter the filename in the command as appropriate!

First two lines as stated.

Quick trick for the third line - type (without pressing Return) 'tar xjvf FahMon' and then press tab. Linux should fill the rest in for you. Now press Return.

Next problem. The make install is not working. :mad:

You'll have to be root for that bit. 'sudo make install'.

Aha, thanks.

Not that it helps now, but if you're following the guide to set up ubuntu 7.10, you could have just downloaded the prepackaged deb file from the fahmon download page
