Hi Philippe

First open up an xterminal or you can use the console if you want. 
You'll find an icon for an xterm in the menu system of the GUI that 
you're using.  

Go to your home directory:

$ cd
$ ls p*.tgz

And you'll see a listing of the povlinux.tgz file, if you don't then it's
somewhere else.

Now do:

$ tar -xzvf povlinux.tgz
$ cd povray31
$ su

You'll be prompted for the root password (you weren't already logged in 
as root were you?), type in the root password and press enter, the prompt
should change from a $ to a # then type:

# ./install

And now you should be almost there, you will need your own .povrayrc file,
it talks about that in the README.linux file.  

Hope that helps.
