It will be something like this.

gzip -dc fp-linux-ws.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
cd fp-linux-ws
../configure
make
make install

On second thoughts, it probably won't.

I was thinking it was a port but it's probably a package. I was fooled
by the conventional .tar.gz suffix.

Ahh. I see. By just using f-prot /home without giving options just gives
a report. If you type man f-prot you can read a quick manual for all the
options. eg. f-prot -disin /home will disinfect where possible.
Have fun! Smile
Oh, btw, why did you not just download the .rpm instead of the .tar
archive? You could just install with urpmi fp-linux-ws.rpm or even rpm
-ivh fp-linux-ws.rpm. Much simpler that way Wink
