problem with NVIDIA drivers on FC2

iamroot

I downloaded the NVIDIA v. 6629 drivers and installed it but before the installation proceeded, a msg appeared ( module license nvidia taints kernel). But after the msg, the installation proceeded smoothly so i didnt think too much abt it but then, after using FC2 a few times, everything fouled up.

Shell script for more than one command

Dapper Dan

I'm sure the answer is out there, but I don't seem to be googling for the answer correctly and I keep coming up empty. How do you run more than one command in a shell script so that one command runs immediately after another is completed? Can a string of commands be run in this way indefinitely? Thanks.

Anaconda-Gentoo!

Dapper Dan

Well I finally took the plunge. I'm posting this from mozilla-firefox which I emerged from Anaconda-Gentoo. If you've not seen it, you can pick up the ISO's. The installation was a breeze! What they've essentially done is take the Red Hat Anaconda install and made it to where it installs a core Gentoo system.
