[chirp_users] Using Linux, Chirp and the FTDI cable & driver.

[raymond reese]

I am presently using Win7hp, Chirp and FTDI cable and everything works great.
However, I am learning to use Linux 16 / Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop.
I have downloaded the FTDI Linux 0.4.16 driver and some instructions I don't understand.
The problem is, I have not a clue of where to go from there.
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this driver installed and etc.?
