Not sure if this is the correct forum. Inspired by John's Toy, my son set out to build a tiny mouseless, keyboardless computer for his school science project. It goes well, except we cannot install the Touchkit drivers for the USB touchscreen.
There was a cd supplied with the screen with a variety of drivers for a range of operating systems. I chose Mandrake Linux to try and install. There is a sharutils rpm file and three setup files.
Attempting to run the rpm file brings an error message about "error reading rpm header" while the setup files have an error "cannot execute binary file"
I downloaded a more recent (and apparently more relevant) gzipped tarball from eGalax ( http://www.egalax.com.tw/eg/drivers.htm#deb ), who seem to be the manufacturers. This later file is for Debian Linux.
I downloaded the file into a download directory I created, double clicked in emelfm and the file was extracted into temporary directories in tmp. So far, so good.
I located the required directory and typed "make new" as called for and get an error message "sudo: make: command not found"
And here my scanty knowledge of Linux runs out.
I attempted to contact support at eGalax but that part of the web site seemed to not be working.

Thanks for any help
