How do i install things on linux?

Q. Sorry if this is confusing :l
Basically i have just bought a new acer aspire one linux netbook, i want to install ubuntu so i can install wine. I do not have a disc drive on my netbook so i would need to use a memory stick to transfer the files. But when i download absolutely anything Xarchiver opens the download and i have no idea what to do when it has opened. How do i install it?
Thanks,
(:

A. Well the Aspire One ships with a custom version of Linpus Lite Linux.
Here is a good review

The fact is that Linux is Linux and adding wine or any other program works basically the same regardless of the version.
You can visit the Linpus website http://www.linpus.com/
You can also check the manuals http://www.linpus.com/help.php
Changing to Ubuntu is ok, but I simply don't see the advantage.

Linux is not difficult, just different than what you may be used to using.
You should be able to directly download and install most items from the notebook itself off any web connection.
Here is step by step how to install wine or just about any other app!

How do i delete the files from my memory stick?
Q. I have a linux netbook and i have a verbatim 2gb memory stick. I cannot add or delete any files onto the stick. i press delete on the keyboard but it does nothing... i cant right click the file and click delete as it is not highlighted/enabled . help?
thank you

A. Format the stick (right click, Format); that will delete every file and the non-working formating, and/or any corruption or bug.

My computer can't connect to my wireless router wirelessly but it can with a wired connection?
Q. I just bought and set up a D-Link DGL-4500, and it works perfectly if my computer is plugged in to the ports at the back of the router, but when I try to connect wirelessly it just says "Windows cannot connect".

When I try to connect my cheap little linux netbook wirelessly, it connects flawlessly.

What can I do to make this work??

A. I bet it's because you need to install all of the service packs on your Windows machine.

I believe that support for WPA/WPA2 wasn't included until either SP2 or SP3 of XP.

If that's not the problem, then go to the web site of your computer manufacturer or WiFi card manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver or support program available for your computer or WifI card.

Download the WiFi related updates (if available) and see if that doesn't fix the issue.

Good Luck!
