Ixthusdan Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 You can also open a console (terminal), type "su", enter, type root password, enter, type "init 3" and enter. Login as root When you're done installing, type "init 5" and you'll be back in x. There are many ways to do anything in linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchem Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 It's pretty much a process of following the instructions in nvidias readme, it's long but contains the solutions to most problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
