Install Creative Driver

[robinbredin]

I downloaded an driver for my Ubuntu 9.10, and the instructions for installing meant nothing to me, except terminal. Can someone translate this into basic english. Thanks

The purpose of this document is to describe how to build and install the
X-Fi Linux device driver.



Quick install

=============
In terminal,

1) Goto source directory
2) Execute make command as root
make
make install

Uninstall
=========
In terminal,
1) Goto source directory
2) Execute make command as root
make uninstall

I've never installed this way before but the way I read that is...

Go to where you downloaded the driver... In 9:10 I believe it downloads it to the "Downloads" dir

eg: on my system that would be (in Terminal)

cd /home/susan/Downloads

sudo make x-fi.tar.gz ? <--- does it have that extension
make install
