RPM Question
 

Hello, this may be a stupid question but they are never asked:))

RedHat 9 KDE

I downloaded NForce Drives in RPM Format, then in KDE double-clicked and the RPM become installed, now how can i install the drivers?, where is the Files, who can i do this?, after install a RPM where is the files to install??

I'll bet it's asked and answered quite a few times if you try the bbs search button with the right terms.

You have to follow the rest of the instructons that you neglected to read that can be found on the driver page.

If you need the nVidia driver, you want the Linux IA32 driver unless you just bought the new AMD 64 bit CPU

once an rpm is installed, that's pretty much it, unless there's stuff you need to configure after (the documentation should tell you this)...
