I am trying to install PowerTerm InterConnect for Linux on DSL.  I have downloaded the PowerTermEval.zip file and unzipped it to a PowerTerm folder.  Unzipped there is a pt12feb04.sh file.  I have installed this product under RedHat 9 by just double clicking the pt12feb04.sh file.  Nothing happens under DSL when I use Emelfm and double click that file.  What do I need to do?
Thanks.  

By the way, I am total linux NEWBIE!!!

You need to execute that file, i.e. run it. You can do this by opening up the console (it might be known as rxvt or xterm), going to the folder (in Linux they're called directories) and running the program. For instance, if the .sh file is in /home/damnsmall/powerterm, you'd type:

cd /home/damnsmall/powerterm
sh pt12feb04.sh

Thanks that kicked off the installation, but I get an error that says I need more space in the /tmp directory.  I orginally installed DSL on a 300MB /hda1 partition.  I'm reinstalling it now using more space.  How should I setup the partitions, including swap and what not?
