this might sound stupid but:
when u downlaod a program (source .bz2) file or whatever, when u extract it, how does it get installed?
im jus a little confused about installing software from source...
am i right in saying that when uve extracted you can just run the program? (cos it aint like windoze, no registry etc)
cheers

the distfiles are unpacked in the $WORKDIR, then compiled and installed in the image dir, and then finaly merged (really installed on your system)
have a look here : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=1

usually:
| Code: | $ ./configure
$ make
# make install |
anyway, always read the INSTALL file if it is present... |
