Hi all, I have a very basic questions that I feel pretty silly asking but here goes.... I have just installed the Debian Linux system on a 386 machine for "experimental" purposes and have transferred and installed the gnuchess.deb package (I used "dpkg --install gnuchess.deb" because I am still trying to figure out what dselect does and how it works) . Now how do I run the darn thing. I have found the following files in the /usr/games directory: gnuchess gnuchessc gnuchessn gnuchessr gnuchessx
What are all of these files and what do I do with them (Do I have to build an executable?). Obviously I come from a "wintel" background and am expecting a .exe file but there isn't one here (or is there?). The attributes show them to be -rwxr-xr-x (whatever that means) Is this typical with other packages? For example, I have also downloaded the ppp.deb package and installed it but where in the world did it put the executable files so that I can run it. (I am still trying to get the PPP to work so that I don't have to download from my Windows 95 machine and transfer everything over via diskette (very painful and slow and not feasible for the bigger packages).
