I've looked at the readme and the instructions are as follows: tar -xzf driver-version.tar.gz cd driver-version make install driverconfig or an alternative rpm -ta driver-version.tar.gz but I don't get any of this and I just would prefer a simple installation with very detailed information and maybe a little summary of what's going on so I can understand it better.

I think this process is that of gunzipping (which I think can be done with the command gunzip 'name of file' ) A .tgz file can then be installed by the command: tar -xvf 'name of file' note that the name of the file is no longer what it was, it's changed ffrom .tar.ga to .tgz. all of this is 'I think' material, but give it a go... I think I may have just managed to install AGSatellite for linux (w/ glibc)... I now have a directory called AGSatellite0520 Inside it is AGSAtellite.exe. I managed all that with the gunzip and tarxvf commands. However, I think now is when we need someone like Graham to come in and tell me how to solve the next bit... When I run the .exe it says : [erin@localhost AGSatellite0520]$ ./AGSatellite Files scanned: 0 NewFiles: 0 www.audiogalaxy.com to login Invalid account, please edit/create shares.txt and account.txt Now, what needs to go in the shares.txt and the account.txt files? I know my username and password from hainv it on windows, but I've no idea how to lay it out, I presume it needs this info? As for the Shares.txt, that obviously tells the server where I stash my MP3's, I know that also, but again, how to lay it out... Graham? Any ideas? Thanks Erin Opps, :) the FAT man	Guest (0)
