That is the command recommended to install this version of linux. Without linux, commands of that difficulty are not normally required just to install something.

So where are these linux guys from? Looks like Japan? Great, another foreign competitor that gives what was our Unix away for free.

Wrong again. Windows just hides that complexity from the user using file associations. Every time you start up, say, an Access database by clicking on the database itswelf, the system actually performs a comand very similar to the one shown above.

In this case, there are no file associations for the linux images, so the user must enter in the command himself.

If you don't know what you are talking about, please refrain from criticizing.
