Okay, now that you have that Aureal file, copy it to a directory where you would like to expand it. For example: cp Aureal*tar.gz /home/g-couch/ Then you can execute the following command to expand the compressed file and it should place everything in it's own subdirectory: cd /home/g-couch tar -xvzf Aureal*tar.gz It's been a few years since I've installed an Aureal driver, so I can't properly instruct you from memory. There will be a README and/or INSTALL file in the new Aureal directory. Read that carefully for installation instructions. If you are using an Aureal chip, you will have success with that driver. If you run into issues, write back with the steps you were executing and the errors/complications you received. To read README and/or INSTALL (whatever their called) do something like the following: less README less INSTALL --- g <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Tim - I stand corrected - I should not have been > flippant with Mumbo jumbo > and by no way meant offense to all the fantastic > Linux users.
