Using Fedora Core 2 with "everything" installed. Does anyone have a good link/guide that shows how to install programs and drivers and that sort of thing? Also a link/guide on how to use the terminal?
I more than know my way around windows for installing programs, drivers, tweaking the system, using the console, etc. But Linux is something else entirely. I'm trying to learn but there's a few things in my way. Namely, I've got the drivers and stuff copied from the cd and into a folder on the computer, but I'm lost as to how to actually install them.
That's the stuff I want to install (yeah I know that's a windows screenshot, it's just to show the stuff I want to install while in Linux and I didn't want to type out those hideously long filenames here). It's the Nvidia Nforce chipest drivers, graphics card drivers, Ndiswrapper and associated drivers and utilities to get my stupid wireless card working, and firefox. I've googled around and tried to figure out how to do it, but it's been a no-go.
