No problem - what you need to do is as follows:

1. Open a shell session (xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal, whatever you 
prefer)
2. Type 'su -' and enter your root password
3. Type 'cd /home/julian/<blah>', replacing the '<blah>' part with the 
directory where you've put all of the PythonCard files from the tarball
4. Type 'python ./setup.py install'

If you get any error messages at step (4), you may need to type 'python 
./setup.py build' followed by 'python ./setup.py install' - it's been a 
while since I installed PythonCard from the source tarball, and I can't 
remember whether the 'install' part is clever enough to realize that the 
'build' part needs to be done as well.

This will put everything in the right places ad you ought to be able to 
run the samples to prove that it all works. Good luck!
