Please forgive my poor knowledge.I am used the sort of installers that
require Stuffit for expanding and which will show progress bars and give you
messages etc.

Q:Shall I just drag the whole image inside any folder...will it be installed
then?
Ithink it is confusing that I could browse the folders, open documents and
poen windows in the app if it was not installed.......

OK ,then I´ll wait for  its release.Do I have to know a bit of programming
to make things work?(no sarcasm intended)
I read a document where I was told to type certain commands....somehow I
came to a box where it said "welcome to Darwin"I tried typing whatever was
recommended,but I could not make any valid commands.

I would not mind learning some programming......

interesting freeware.
