Video Card Driver Installation and Network Setup With WinXP



1) I have downloaded a file called
"ati Linux -driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run".

I would appreciate any advice regarding how to install the driver. My
Apple ][ and MS background doesn't give me any direction in this case.

The computer is a Asus P5WD2-E Premium with a X700 PCI-E video card.

As a comment , the Fedora 6 version of linux was the only version of
linux that I have been able completely install, that would function
properly afterwards. However, it is running in about a 400 something
by 300 something resolution.

I was able to get Suse 10.0 "running", but strangely enough Red Hat 9
and a couple other distribution versions hung-up during installation.

2) As with Suse, I have been unable to get WinXP computers to
recognize the Fedora machine on the home network, and vica-versa.
Again suggestions would be appreciated.
