What's the best way to load drivers for this card? Is there aa way I could download the drivers and put them on the DVD to load while loading the OS? I wanted to load SUSE 10.3 or maybe 11.o on one of my drives. Im not very learned in Linux but pretty computer savy all in all...any links to a step by step would be wonderful...
....P.S. Fedora 9.0?...what's the verdict so far??...worth trying??

Thanks in advance!!!

There are installation instructions on the driver page: Nvidia Linux Display Driver - x86

Actualy I did find that when I searched...question though, do I add that to the repositories when I'm loading the OS??...could I download the driver / RPM (?) and add it to the DVD image or to a CD to add while I'm loading the OS??...what's happening is I get an error when the OS is done loading that says it has to do with an incompatable video driver.........I have an OLD ati video card (banshee) that I could put in a PCI slot and use analog if that would be easier but I'd have to dig it out and find the analog cable for it but that is an option although I'd rather just install what I use from the start....
...also...I have Fedora 9.0 60% downloaded....since it's fairly new would it support this video card??..I have 3 drives that I can use to try things with and 3 backup drives of my XP OS I can remove to install different versions of Linux w/o an issue of harming XP so I can "play" around a bit.....

Thanks (again) in advance!!

That's way more than I know about Linux. There are more knowledgeable users here that should be able to answer your questions.

You could also poke around their Linux forum for any help: NVIDIA Linux - nV News Forums
