Hi,

i'm new to debian. I got it installed in my computer. Now is the configuration time. I have a few questions

I burned nvidia driver into a cd.

1- How can i get it to install to my linux computer from cd.? what is the command for this.?

2-I chose gdm as my default display manager during debian setup. How do i configure x-server or desktop manager to work with my driver.? A step by step instruction is very nice.

3- In windows, i will type cd OK if i want to access to this folder. what is the command i should use if i want to access to another folder.?

thank you very much for answering my question.

Hi, and welcome to LQ!



You'd mount the CD, cd into the directory where you
put the driver, then run the nvidia installer by typing
sh NVIDIA-<blurb>

cd

you mentioned about "mount the CD"

what is the command i should use to "mount" the cd.?

after i mount a cd, does it mean it automatically will copy a file from a cd to a folder in my linux box???

if not, what command i need to use to do that before using sh to install nvidia driver.?

thanks

mount </your/cdroms/mountpoint>

man mount for details

No. It will just make the CD-ROM accessible to
file-system commands.


Just cd there and run it.


But please, before firing up a question about every
single possible step, do some reading...

this will mount your cdrom to the directory /mnt/cdrom. If this directory does exist you can create it with
mkdir /mnt/cdrom.
