I'm a moron when it comes to Linux so please bear with me.

at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...+drivers+video the posters have indicated how to install a video card driver.

How can I put the driver into my drive in the first place?

Second post in the thread you linked to gives you a way to do it, it's outdated but im guessing you didnt even try?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-8762.html

Go there, instructions on the page.

So there only way to put the files in hard drive is by downloading the software. So there's no way to put the files via discs?

Also, how can I connect to the internet at the command prompt?

try 'links www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html'

I would just give you the link to the driver to download with 'wget' but you need to pick the correct one for your system/device.
