Re: [Dri-users] DRM driver for RADEON

[Steven M. W. <sm...@co...>]

Sorry, I realize I probably sound dense.

I downloaded the build.sh script (and the rest of them) and looked at it 
and its associated config.sh and cannot understand from those two 
scripts just how its going to build anything without additional input.

Do I download the radeon-20031116-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file, unpack it and 
run build.sh in there?

It looks to me like maybe I download the 
radeon-20031116-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file, unpack it and run install.sh in 
there.  Is that correct?
