This is a mix of shell and pseudo shell: cd #yes, your home dir mkdir tempX cd tempX put the new X332SVGA.tgz file here tar xvzf X332SVGA.tgz # unpack it all in this dir find . -name XF86_SVGA # find it in the hierarchy su mv /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.orig #just in case cp path/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin # use the path from find -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
