     <p>Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere, then
-    run:<br> <code>tar -xvzf
-    tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-<version-torbrowserbundlelinux32>-dev-<var>LANG</var>.tar.gz</code> or
-    <code>tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-<version-torbrowserbundlelinux64>-dev-<var>LANG</var>.tar.gz</code> (where
-    <var>LANG</var> is the language listed in the filename), and either double click on the
-    directory or <code>cd</code> into it, then execute the <strong>start-tor-browser</strong>
-    script. This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch
-    Firefox Aurora. <em>Do not unpack or run TBB as root.</em></p>
+    run one of the following two commands to extract the package archive:<br><br>
+    <code>tar -xvzf tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-<version-torbrowserbundlelinux32>-dev-<var>LANG</var>.tar.gz</code>
+    <br><br>or<br><br>

+    Once that's done, switch to the Tor browser directory by running:
+    <br><br>
+    <code>cd tor-browser_<var>LANG</var></code>
+    <br><br>(where <var>LANG</var> is the language listed in the filename).<br><br>
+    To run the Tor Browser Bundle, execute the <strong>start-tor-browser</strong> script:
+    <br><br>
+    <code>./start-tor-browser</code>
+    <br><br>
+    This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch
