a .sh file ... sry.. its the only file that i click to install ut2003.. it seems to load part way from that file...

also i downloaded a check.sh file from ati to find out my xfree86 version but i cant run it.

sh <filename>

yeah, you have to type it in a terminal.

if you want to be able to click to run it, you have to give it execute permission

chmod +x <filename>

replace <filename> with the file that you want to be able to click

from now on, you can click the file to run it
