So I just got Mandriva 2006 up and running, looks like most of my hardware was detected, even the SATA III drive. But my networking (sigh) does not work. I have the integrated Nvidia nForce 430 chipset that has a gigabit controller on there. I downloaded the appropriate drivers, but they are .run shell scripts and I have no clue what to do with these (total noob).
Any suggestions? I would also love to know what to do once the hardware is configured.
Thanks!
