NVU in Mandrake - Help

I have version 0. 60 of NVU on my Mandrake system which came as an RPM. Love it to death. Downloaded 0. 70 and it came as a Fedora core and it has a bunch of scripts, which beyond me. Does anyone have any idea how I can load this? Check out the update at Thanks! Chris.

Sure. Once you have unpacked the tarball, get into the nvu-0.70 directory and type in a terminal window;
 
./nvu
 
That should do it!
 
If you want to create an icon on the desktop (KDE);
 
1. right click on the desktop-->create new-->file-->link to application.
 
2. Under the application bar, browse to the directory where the tarball is uncompressed and choose the nvu script (not the nvu-bin file).
 
3. An icon can be found by choosing the icon button under "general" other icons and browse to the nvu-0.70 directory-->icons, and choose an icon.
