Today I have installed Mandrake 9.2 on my PC.

And I am so pleased! Linux looks great!

So I have gone to get ATI drivers for my video card. On ATI's site are the instructions:


Before you start, please read these installation tips.

If you are not sure which version of XFree86 you have installed, please download and run Check.sh from a command line to find out.


So I download Check.sh into the Documents folder. Double clicking it does nothing!

I can open the command line Konsole (is that the right one?) cd Documents gets me there. Ls shows the file Check.sh, now what?

Don't laugh too hard. Thanks!

Try typing:

./Check.sh (that's dot-slash-Check.sh)

in the directory with the file and see if that works. Depending on what the permissions on the file are, you may have to be root (su)

You can open a "terminal" in your desktop and do
this. Also called an "xterm" This can be used
for all your command line commands. Get to know
it, you'll like it. It will look like a darker
box in a monitor-like frame. HTH.

well, the *.sh files are basically "scripts", you can run 'em with the "./*"command "*" = filename
