INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
NOTE: To complete the installation, you must be the ROOT user with no X-server 
running (init 3).

1. Download the SoftPaq .rpm file to a directory on your hard drive.

2. To check for existing NVIDIA packages, at the prompt type: 
'rpm -qa | grep nvidia'

3. Remove any previous NVIDIA package. For example, at the prompt type: 
'rpm -e nvidia'

4. To install the new package, at the prompt type:
'rpm -ivh nvidia-9746-1.0.i386.rpm'

NOTE: Step 4 places files, builds, and configures the NVIDIA accelerated 
graphics module. It also moves any current X configuration file aside and 
automatially generates a new one based on detected hardware and connected 
monitors.
