confuses me because if I am putting in the user in pass why do I need to create the .config file. This is the user and pass for the pool account right?
You don't need to create a config file for your bitcoin client if you are going to do mining in pool.

Forget these instructions. They were only relevant when I thought your system was debian based instead of .rpm. They are for setting up a system to mine by yourself which you don't want to do. You want to join a pool with your card.
but I have already DL and extracted bitcoin-0.3.19-linux.tar.gz so why do Ineed to do it agin, actually did 3.20 but who is counting
You need to run the bitcoin program somewhere, either on this machine or another one to be joined to the network to be able to receive any bitcoins that you make from a pool. You should delete the .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file
First things first.
cd to the poclbm-mod.03.24.2011/sources/
do python ./poclbm-mod with no options
what devices does it show?
Ok the ubuntu instructions say to

I have a setup .py folder but as i said befor it is in the poclbm-mod.03.24.2011/sources/ folder
and it looks like this code it to make a .bitcoin folder I already have on in my home folder why do I want another? and as I said and asked before have no "bitcoin.conf" so do I need to create one with kwrite and if so what do i put in it?
myusername=un
mypassword=pw
or
rpcuser=myusername
rpcpassword=mypassword
the wged lines seem to be to Dl what I already have so why would I re DL what is already on my drive?
python poclbm.py -d 0 --user un --pass pw
confuses me because if I am putting in the user in pass why do I need to create the .config file. This is the user and pass for the pool account right?
when I try to run "sudo python setup.py install"
it asks me for a password, I put in the pass for my user account. Then it says:
myusername is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Should I take the "sudo" off? or do I need to run this a root? I am sure I am doing something simple wrong but no clue what?

no "python-pyopenc" package in the repo what is the actual pac name
It looks like this is the package you're looking for:
nvidia-current-cuda-opencl
best one for newcomers IMO is deepbit pool
ok will try that one if I can ever get the pool app launched
no pool app. you need the poclbm miner though (m0mchil)

Ya but first I need to get the pool app runing
would you all recommend
or some one else?
My pool @ http://deepbit.net of course :) would you all recommend
or some one else?
PCLinuxOS no ver number it is a rolling distro
I've never even heard of that one in all my time with Linux, but there are a lot of different distributions.
It looks like it's debian based like Ubuntu.
If you are familiar with the synaptic management tool try searching for python-pyopencl.
Here are instructions for ubuntu. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/easy-ubuntu-python-opencl-mining-setup-2636
If PCLinuxOS is debian based, using current packages, and hasn't changed the package names, those instructions could work.
Be aware that your card is quite old. I had a GTS 250 and was only getting about 2.5 Cents a day running at 30 Mh/s. It looks like your card will get in the 20-25 Mh/s range.
Not debian it uses RPMs but it does use synaptec

I would have offered remote assistance, except I am not familiar with linux 
I could read up and help you another time maybe.
For pooling, you gotta sign up at the pool's website

What version of linux are you running first of all?
I think most people here are on Ubuntu 10.10.

why not the mod?
have DL this one
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm-mod
This is mod version, you'd better use poclbm or poclbm-gui, but not the poclbm-mod.https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm-mod
This is the GUI version:

Do I just open terminal and say ./setup.py
or am I missing something?
Sorry, but i'm not the linux user. I think that people in those threads will help you with using python. or am I missing something?
have DL this one
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm-mod
in the "binaries-win32" folder I see a bunch of .pyd files
in the "source" folder I see a 3 . py files setup.py, bitcoiminer.py, and poclbm-mod.py
I am guessing these are the ones I want, but I have no clue how to run them I search for "python interpreter" in my repo and supposedly already have one installed I think? libpython2.6-devel and Python Imaging Library version 1.1.7 but not sure is that what I need?

regarding poclbm am seeing .exe files when I DL it yet it alks about 3 Linux distros so confused is there a Linux ver some where?
It's a python program with source included. You can just run it with a python interpreter if you have one installed (with it's dependencies).If you don't see .py files inside, download it from github.
Also you'll need appropriate drivers for your video card and ATI Stream SDK v2.1-2.3, YMMV.
