For the filesystem question, I usually use ext2- compatible with linux, bsd,

ext3 is compatible w/ext2 when the dirty bit is not set. When
it is set (one common reason is the filesystem not being correctly

thats why running fsck_ext2fs on the partition should take care of the

first of all, have you downloaded the driver from the nvidia site, and

you usually have to manually set up your xorg.conf file, which is very

with the installer package

the commands are useradd, userdel, and usermod. for the passwords, you
