Subject: How to install things?

I looked on other threads for this but it didn't help. I just built my computer with a PCChips A13G+ motherboard and it came with a CD to install drivers for VGA and stuff. The problem is the only thing I can do when I put the disc in is browse it. And I can't start anything on it to install these drivers. I want to keep using Linux instead of having to buy XP. Also, I'm using my older computer now. Can anyone help?

Okay, a question, do you already have a Linux OS installed, and if so which one?
If you have a Linux distro installed, chances are the drivers on the disk aren't Linux compatible.
As for VGA, you shouldn't need a driver for that, VGA is a part of the chipset or device BIOS.

If it ain't broke, you aren't trying hard enough.
