    If that tar archive was made for linux, then it should have either a README or INSTALL file inside it with instructions on how to install.

    The general pattern is to open a terminal inside the source folder, then
    Code:
    # ./configure
    # make
    # make install

    Have you tried running the shell script? If it's not too long, please post it here in a
    Code:
    
         
    section.

    P.S.
    I took a look at that Asus support link, and found an installation guide in the Manual section. It's in the box with the following description:

    thanks got a bit further but still not complete
    I downloaded all the files so know i have
    install_u3000, install_vdr, unins_u3000, uninst_vdr shells and two deb files.

    Then i follow the commands they say to type in
    Press <Ctrl> + <Alt > + <T> to open the console mode. - i do open terminal here in home window
    8. Key in sudo su, and then press <Enter>.
    9. Key in ./install_u3000, and then press <Enter>. i get an error here - ./install_u3000: line 3 dpkg: command not found.
    10. Key in ./install_vdr, and then press <Enter>.
    11. After installation, close the console mode window. Restart your
    Eee PC.

    thanks for all the help. Just hope i can get this thing worked out. i tried running scripts but don't do anything as in nothing happens after i click install.
