Hello All,

This is my first question to the list and I know it must be the most 
repeated one. I tried to search the rchive of this list but surprisingly the 
archive is not searchable 
(http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/)

I am very new to mono and linux (though I am experienced with .Net on 
windows).
I have downloaded all the rpms. Is there any document giving me the steps of 
installing mono?

Sorry if this repeated question annoys you. Please give me the steps of 
installation. I have dowloaded the rpms

cairo-0.1.17-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm           
mod_mono-0.7-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm
cairo-devel-0.1.17-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm     mono-0.31-1.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm
gtk-sharp-0.17-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm         
mono-devel-0.31-1.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm
gtk-sharp-gapi-0.17-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm    
monodoc-0.11-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm
icu-2.6.1-1.ximian.6.3.i386.rpm              
perl-XML-LibXML-1.54-1.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libgdiplus-0.2-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm         
perl-XML-LibXML-Common-0.13-1.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libgdiplus-devel-0.2-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm   
perl-XML-NamespaceSupport-1.08-1.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libicu26-2.6.1-1.ximian.6.3.i386.rpm         
perl-XML-NodeFilter-0.01-1.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libicu-devel-2.6.1-1.ximian.6.3.i386.rpm     
perl-XML-SAX-0.12-1.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libpixman-0.1.0-1.ximian.6.2.i386.rpm        xsp-0.9-0.ximian.6.0.i386.rpm
libpixman-devel-0.1.0-1.ximian.6.2.i386.rpm

In which order to I install these now? I have found the command to install 
these rpms (rpm --i <rpm file>).

Thanks for your help in advance.

regards,
Abhishek.

&gt;The gentoo packages are pretty outdated last time I checked, if that's
&gt;still the case you should compile the latest mono package yourself.
&gt;
&gt;For a book, I recommend &quot;Inside C#&quot; by Tom Archer, in addition 
to
&gt;being excellent for learning C# and .NET, it also dives a little into
&gt;MSIL so you get a better understanding of how things work under the
&gt;hood.  MSDN is also a great resource once you have a solid understand
&gt;of .NET's basics.
&gt;
&gt;I use VS.NET for an IDE, but SharpDevelop is an good alternative and I
&gt;hear MonoDevelop (based on Sharp) is getting better.

&gt; &gt; I am interested in getting started doing some basic coding in
&gt; &gt; anticipation of porting a project to C# on Linux, but past 
installing
&gt; &gt; the mono Gentoo package I'm a bit in the dark about where to get
&gt; &gt; started.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Is there a &quot;getting started&quot; type guide to Mono?  (I 
didn't see anything
&gt; &gt; in the documentation on the web site.)  Are there other resources 
that
&gt; &gt; anyone would suggest; e.g., a book on C# that is recommended?  
What do
&gt; &gt; folks use as an IDE?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Thanks,
&gt; &gt;
