I am a complete noob. I have installed ret hat 7. I cannot run a graphical enviroment becausde, i assume my video card is not configured corectly. I have tried in Xconfigutator with no luck. My vid is a Hercules Prophet 4500 64. At the hercules site i downloaded a driver for linux. Itried to execute this at root using rpm -Uvh but nothing but since the file is on the floppy it could not be found. So; 1. If a linux driver is downloaded in XP to a floppy i assume it is Vfat. Is this problematic. 2. Do i install from the floppy or copy from the floppy to the hd. I do not know how to do this. I would appraciate any help, once i get GUI i might be able to learn abit more.

i am a complete newbie intrigued by Linux. I have installed Red Hat 7 and can get into the shell prompt. Xconfigurator runs but I cannot get the video configured. I Have a Hercules prophet 4500 64. At their web site I downloaded a linux driver. I do not know how to install it. Is it a problem that I downloaded it to a floppy in Windows XP? Thanks anybody, in the meantime i am reading and learning!!
