Newbie Q ? regarding Blackbox


HI I have a few questions regarding the use of Blackbox 6.2 in Mandrake 9.0.

I was wondering how I could enable screeensavers.
I was also wondering how I can properly install these Blackbox themes Ihave downloaded and link them to my menu.
Also I would like to upgrade my version to the latest 6.5.

I have found turoials on installing themes but I dont seem to be able to find my backgrounds folder. I found my styles folder but cant seem to cp the untarred style file into there.
Also I found turorial on installing the upgrade but it not just upgrading.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I didnt get a manual as this is a downloaded version. I have found tutoriols on the net but they have been little help as they dont seem to have a unified method.
Also im new to the Linux file system so finding the directories im looking for is a bit daunting.
Installing themes should be simple. Install the style in the blackbox/style folder and install the background in the background foler. PRoblem is whenver I try to do so it says dir not found. And i cant even found the backgrounds folder.
