i am running mint 14 cinnamon full install on a usb flash drive and am trying to update my creative x-fi drivers to see if i can get the front panel i/o drive working. i downloaded the linux driver from their website and these are the instructions which leave a newbie like me confused on what exactly i need to do. any help would be appreciated. thanks
