Hi Vin, Karl k5di here. You must have linux running and get the xxx.tar.gz
file to your linux and put it in the /usr/src/ directory. Then cd linux
and see if the file README is there. If not, then you need to unpack your
big file and do that with tar xvfz Linux_2.0.35.tar.gz and it will replace
the old source code with the new. Now read the file README which is well
written and will tell you what to do.
