Re: [LUG] suse 8.2

Hi Paul

Re SuSe 8.2 and the Nvidia drivers. I used the Nvidia installer from their 
site and it worked well. Installing was easy once someone explained it to me 
and my pretty slow box is working and looking all the better for it. 

The instructions are
1Regarding the nv installer what I do is as follows....

1. Bring the machine to single user mode ("init 1" as root)
2. Type "sh" followed by the name of the installer executable file
3. Follow the on screen prompts
4. Once it has all been done, reboot...

You then need to run Sax2

I hope this helps you

Keith

Quite simple really
