OK,

I went and downloaded the tarball that I need to update my video card drivers in RedHat 7.0, but I'm fairly new to this and am not sure what steps I should take.
Is there a script in the Tarball that I have to run, and if so, how do I run a Install script? Do I need to recompile anything when I'm done??
Basically If there's someone that could just give a step-by-step I'd really Appreciate it.

Thanks A lot,
Aaron

Basically the command will be something like this:

# tar -xvzf /thefilenamehere

That should un-tar what all the files into a directory named after what ever file it is. From there in the files, most come with a README or INSTALL file which should tell you how to install from there.

What file did you download? Was it just drivers or was it a particular program? You might need to goto http://www.linuxdoc.org and read the HowTo's there. They have much info on just about everything.

Script
 

OK, I've got it untared into a directory and there's a README and a install.sh, and all the readme says is to run the install script. How do I do that??

In the directory that has the README and the install.sh file, you should just have to type

#sh install.sh

HTH.

XFree86?
 

OK, I went and got the script to run by typing ./install.sh
But then when the script goes to run it says that I don't have XFree86 installed! This is the X Windowing System, correct? I ran it from a shell prompt in GNOME, what the hell's wrong?
