    What is the kernel?

    What is the kernel i see in the internet many times and want to know? how do i run? do i need it if i use linux 7.1 red hat?
  2. Everyone now will think i am the most not too smart using linux. i never seen linux before if not for request of friend. now my question, i wanted to run my video card with nvidia driver. but i dont want to destroy the linux redhat7 and the warning in nvidia forums are pointing to that. in the drivers download there is one step at a time to take. but i cannot get step three into action. i downloaded the textfile "NVchooser.sh" but it is complex. I double click it but it will not run as a exe or bat. Anyone help on how to use? I dont want to destroy linux and not get back to desktop like the warnings so i want to follow all steps. I have a linuxt 7, redhat 7.1se I have a geforce 2mx 400 I have a duron pc of amd i have a hard disk of 20gigabytes one cdrw and a floppy disk and a 3 button mouse. I updated xfree and the similar files and glibc and the common version also. I updated xcdroast here is where i am looking. http://nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4191 Thank you for you help soon. Sorry fro the poor english i am not native in the language.
  3. yes, rehat linux 7 because it is what i can get as of the moment. the 8 is very much bigger to be downloaded via a 56k U.S.R. modem . Maybe if i start today i will get it when 9 comes out no? he he he
  4. And to add to this all. just now i got to install xfree86 and all the files that it need using same method because of same rpoblems. i am begining to think its the right way is it?
  5. i will not ask help this time. i think at first i destroyed linux 7 but i ran it! here is what i did. it is wrong i think but i woked it! 1 - i install new version of glibc and it says it need another file glib-common. 2 - i downloaded another file from rpmfind 3 - i install both new files but it says it has errors that old one conflict 4 - it also says dependency problems 5 - i remove old glibc and other file and install glibc and no errors 6 - linux will not start!!! many reboot 7 - i was in fear! 8 - i put the linux cd copy and chose upgrade!!! 9 - i forgot what i clicked in the setup. but i chose some extra options i discover 10 - linux starts!!! yehey! 11 - i try to check and install new glibc again. 12 - linux says it is intalled already so i do not install it again. now i get to install new rpm new xcdroast version and more!!!. he he he. now to make xcdroast to run im sure it is not the proper way to go about it and scared me also but it work!

    Autoexec.bat not working?

    I want to type in ( xmodmap - e 'pointer = 1 3 2') > everytime i go to turn on the computer. I saw on the net to type this to assign buttons because my right mouse is almost dead . i want to use middle mouse button for it instead so it will work ok. but i dont want to type in that everytime i turn linux on. I put it on a autoexec.bat but of no use. What is the other method u have?
