[newbie] Drivers, NIC, network...
Hello, I am a returning Linux user who is quite rusty and in need of help with the following: Installing the driver for my nvidia NIC on a shuttle an35Ultra nforce2 mobo and then configuring the network setup on my Motorola cable modem that is attached via ethernet. I downloaded the rpm for mandrake 9.1 from nvidias site and did a rpm -ivh. I am using 9.2. It seemed to install, but now what, still no net. If someone could walk me through it would be greatly appreciated!! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Dual-booting
You should install Windows XP first. Lilo will install the boot loader on the Master Boot Record. If you install Linux and then Windows, Xp will simply write over the MBR where lilo installed itself. hth From: Eric Geater 1/27/03 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2004/02/13 Fri PM 01:35:35 EST To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Dual-booting Oh, this isn't a Mandrake question TOO much, though I am using Mandrake.

[newbie] Drivers, NIC, Internet...help!
Hello, I am a returning LInux user from a few years ago and am quite rusty. I have a Shuttle nforce2 mobo with nvidia network adapter. I downloaded the mandrake 9.1 specific rpm from the nvidia site and did a rpm -ivh. It seemed to install. I am using 9.2. What else do I need to do to get this nic working. The graphical config sees the nic but says it is not installed. I have a motorola cable modem connected by ethernet. If someone would walk me through the setup and config of my internet it would be greatly appreciated!! Without the net one is handicapped in Linux. I look forward to grabbing the Red Carpet package manager- does anyone have experience with it? Reports claim it is great. Much Thanks in advance!!
