Redhat Installation problem

Bart,

Thanks for your 2 messages. I am living in NJ and Redhat8 CD's of my friends
were not good so we used 7.3 CD's. Now I downloaded Redhat9 3 images and
nvidia drivers for 7.3 and 9 also. Due time constraints could not apply
anything so far.

I shall prerfer Redhat 9 as I have to install Oracle 9i software on my new
harddisk. I am an Oracle DBA and want to test something on my home computer.
I have been working with other flavor of unix and not Linux so need a lot of
help for this flavor.

However, I am very thankful for your help and Craig White also.

Have a nice Sunday.

Regards
Rafiq

The way I installed/compiled the module was with a shell script provided
by nvidia. (System - RH8.0, was working with 'nv' driver).

I got it from the "Linux IA32" link on there download page. It's called
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run". Make sure you follow the steps in
the README (if you can get it, the link was broken when I tried).


I strongly recommend you try the 'nv' driver before you do a module
build (always try the easy solution first).


Don't forget, Knoppix should be able to automatically configure your
display. Copy the XF86Config file Knoppix generates into your RH
install.
