Hello,

I just recently Installed Mandrake 10, and I Love it, Windows sucks but I still have too have it cause its the only OS thats working with my NIC Card.

 

I have downloaded the files required to install the driver for Mandrake 10, but I don't know How to install it, is there a a place where I can learn it or something?

What type of file is it? If it's a RPM, then you can just double click it...If it's a tar.gz (or similar) you will have to extract, etc. from the command line.

 

tar -zxvf yourFileName.tar.gz

cd /into new directory created

./configure

make

make install

make clean

 

I would do some research first before trying this if you haven't done it before. Check and see if there's a readme file with the drivers. That's ususlly your best bet if there's any particular install instructions.

 

Good luck.

A tar file is a zipped archive file that you need to extract to install. A RPM file (Redhat Package Manager) is an executable file that you can just click and install.

 

Since you have a tar.gz file, if my instructions aren't easy enough for you to follow, I would google tar and see if there's any better explanation online somewhere.

 

Sometimes you can also open tar files with konquerer to view the contents inside. I would do that, and look for a readme file. Normally readme files tell you exactly how to install your file.
