Beginner Troubles

[Bob Grasper]

Hi All.
I am a linux newby (I know - what a pain, you may be thinking. I am trying to breathe new life into a netbook that had Win XP on it. I have very little experience of linux at all. Here's the problem: The manufacturer of my netbook has released Linux Drivers and config stuff for the netbook. This is badly needed for the trackpad made by Elantech. The cursor jumps around crazily with the default Lubuntu setup and this makes typing REALLY hopeless.
I have downloaded a the set of drivers and config files from ASUS from here:
http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=30&s=1&m=Eee+PC+1000HE&os=17&hashedid=Ues16Gw2OcqSjUN
and I have them in my home directory in lubuntu.
I downloaded the newest kernal version and I got a makefile script (I think that's the right term) and some directories with files in them. They all look like text files containing scripts. 
I have no idea how to execute these. I tried entering the directory where they are stored as Root and copying the makefile script into a terminal window, but although the script runs,  it  fails all over the place with errors such as 'no such directory', or directory exists already' and stuff like that. I have no idea what to do to get this going so that I can type in an ordinary way without the cursor jumping to another part of the page as soon as I brush the pad even in the lightest way.
If you can help me I will greatly appreciate it, but don't assume any prior knowledge as I am a real beginner here. 
Many thanks
Tony
