Driver Installation Help
 
Since unable to get help from this site on my sound problem and wanting to get my sound working I have downloaded from NVIDIA site something I don't know if it will do me any good, but surely won't hurt. I need help installing NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm
but when I enter rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_9.athlon.rpm-1.0-1.rpm I get
error: open of NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_9.athlon.rpm-1.0-1.rpm failed: No such file or directory so I try
-i nforc-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm and I get
bash: -i: command not found
ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS GET MY SOUND FUNCTIONING !!!! SURELY SOMEONE CAN HELP. It says where newbies come for help.

Looks logical to me .... you have
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm
you try to install
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_9.athlon.rpm-1.0-1.rpm

2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm != 9.athlon.rpm-1.0-1.rpm

Typical case of user error.



Cheers,

Sorry, OK once I input
rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm
I get
package NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9 is already installed
but I still have only two speaker sound and no NVIDIA LAN connection?
