Installing or upgrading your Nvidia graphics drivers on your Linux box.

This tutorial is a walk through of just what needs to be done to install NVidia graphics drivers on my Linux machine. I use Vectorlinux but the proceedure should work for many other distributions.

@thegameon Your welcome. CTRL ALT f1 will work for ati cards, but I never had any luck with Nvidia cards doing that.

i had to install root under ubuntu and then me typed ,, init 3'' but then said Symbol init 3 is not defined in current scope ;((

@xAkashix Your right Ubuntu does not allow you to drop into a text user interface mode only with init 3. I'll have to install Ubuntu to a partition and see what can be done.

A Fedora fan, I see. Great Distro, but it will be a while before I move on from Vectorlinux as my base for tutorials. Most of your requests are Fedora Specific, but I can work on the ones that are more general, like the "executing java files"
