Hey. I downloaded Fedora 11 from the internet. I need to know how to login to the root user to install nVidia drivers. This doesn't work while the X server is running. So PLZ HELP ME!
Just spend one hour a day (or even 30 minutes, if you want to) reading a Linux book. Familiarize yourself with the management basics first: su, chmod, mkdir/rmdir, rem, and all other commands on BASH; as well as the entirely-different directory tree structure of *NIX.
believe me, i wanted to learn linux.. but i haven't the time lol... it looks so cool and is sooo fast... but this is a windows type of world, sad to say :(
The real power of Linux lies in the person's knowledge of the Bash command line. I had every single fucking driver working on my dv5-1150us, after a bit of wrangling around YUM, rpm, untarring files and fiddling around with the config files. Not to mention also I got back Windows 7, Fedora 11 (see: OSSEC HIDS) and Solaris all triple-bootin' on my hard drive.
The thing is, you have to re-learn everything on *Nix-based systems
linux is horrible... it looks cool, but its hard/impossible to get drivers converted or whatever for them to work.... and this tutorial is pointless, everyone knows how to click next!

you have to partition it.

That had changed,the distros I have are friendly to nvidia and intel.suse and fedora. Ubuntu is well too overrated.

Can I install it without wiping my entire drive? I have Vista, Ubuntu, and Mint and I want to use Fedora too.

Read a Linux book or two.
