liquidzoo Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 From the Nvidia website: STEP 4: Install Type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run" to install the driver. See the README (text | PDF) for more detailed instructions. If you have any questions or problems, please check the linux discussion forum. If you don't find an answer to your question there, you can send email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com. Hope this helps you out. Welcome to Linux.

DragonMage Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I suggest you go to this link to learn how to kill / disable X http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...&highlight=init 3 Now after you go into console mode, then you can run the nvidia installer safely.
