br,

Thanks for reply.

Now a new issue has begun. I am using ISA server based network via http proxy settings.

While downloading files, I get the following problem for some files:

Err http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main libapr0 2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2
  504 Proxy Timeout ( Connection timed out. For more information about this event, see ISA Server Help. )

Yet I cannot continue with the procedures outlined.

Awaiting your reply.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. The network issue is resolved.

But the following issues are occuring as I go for the tar command using the two links:

Hello !

Can you please try in another directory ?

cd /media/hda7
cp ./powiso.tar.gz ~
cd ~
tar xvzf ./powiso.tar.gz (maybe to be used with sudo or as root)

Thanks and regards,
Benoît

Hello. Thanks for your help. Well I did as follows:

makh@khuram:~$ cd /media/hda7
makh@khuram:/media/hda7$ cp ./powiso.tar.gz
cp: missing destination file operand after `./powiso.tar.gz'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
makh@khuram:/media/hda7$ cp ./powiso.tar.gz ~
makh@khuram:/media/hda7$ cd ~
makh@khuram:~$ tar xvzf ./powiso.tar.gz
poweriso
makh@khuram:~$ su root
Password:
root@khuram:/home/makh# tar xvzf ./powiso.tar.gz
poweriso
root@khuram:/home/makh#

Is it installed? I cannot find PowerISO in Applications.

Thanks and Regards
Khurram

Hello !

As I understood from a brazilian website (in Portugese, so it's possible that I misunderstands), you now have a binary file named "poweriso" in your home directory (/home/makh). Now you should be able to run it by doing this :

cd ~
./poweriso (you might need to run it as root)

If you want to add an entry in the menu (it is not automated by poweriso), you can do so in System > Preferences > Main Menu.

Hope this helps !

Hello...
Not every program installed using synaptic automatically shows in the menus. I find most packages add a menu entry to the debian menu which the last time i used gnome (back in warty) didnt have the debian menu in gnome. And even so, not all programs are configured to add a menu item at all. Try typing the name of the program into a console to start it.
root@khuram:/home/makh#poweriso
but this is not strongly recommended. Why?
You do have root privileges. You just need to use the sudo or gksudo commands.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

If you created a root user during install you may have some problems using it. It is automatically created anyway so I'm surprised it let you make another. This account is disabled (i.e. no way to log in as root) by default. However, it exists and is vital to your system working. If you also created a root account then there may be some conflicts. You can look under system - admin - users and groups to see what's up. There should be a root account there. Don't mess with it. Changing how root works will totally bork your system. Use sudo. See the link above for the rationale behind using sudo. In short, it's more secure.

Hope it clears your doubts...:)

Hello. Thanks for your reply. But it is not working, the way it worked on WinXP. I got my download from:
http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm

Well I did as follows, but still no where.
