installing programs
ok i am a totally noob at this, but i downloaded a program from ati that is suppose to be a automatic program that installs software and driver for my all in wonder video card. the problem is when i click on the file it opens it as a file:///home/dale/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run is a binary, saving it will result in a corrupt file.
Can anyone help me on running this program
thank you

Open a Konsole window
type
su
then your root password
this will make you root for the session. you need this to install a driver
type
cd Desktop
this will change the directory to Desktop
type
sh ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
This should run the program
These instructions should have been on the ATI page you got the driver from
here is detailed help
ATI - openSUSE

Linux is case sensitive you must capitalize Desktopwhen i did all that you said i tried to cd desktop but said bad file or directory
so i hit dir and it list the desktop in blue
have any ideas
thank you for any help you can give
It is listed in blue because it is a directory.
