Im a propper noob Graphics installation?


Rite ive just installed Fedora Core 4 on my system in a dual Boot environment with windows xp using NTFS file system took me a while i can tell im going to be in here alot since i aint got a clue wot im doin in linux.

ive got some idea but thats about it. installed linux for my university course need it.

Ive got a G force 4 mx 440 Very old card i know but i want to be able to install the graphics drivers for it on the linux system ive got the file now for my G card in my home folder.

Opened the terminal and ran the program and it asked me to run it in a root location or sommet.

so i changed the directory to:

kdesu sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run

then pressed enter it then asked me for the password for the root folder put that in and this then just left me with a blank terminal and didnt do anything Any ideas how to install this file name ??

Click here for a complete walkthrough for setting up Fedora Core 4 and turning it into a fully fledged system with 3D, Multimedia and NTFS support for reading Windows partitions. There are instructions for the exact NVidia driver you got, which isn't that simple to install. I recommend going through the whole thing, as you'll get some really neat stuff from it. It's also very straightforward. Hope this helps..
