installing drivers: need howto

    You don't unpack a .run file, you run it. Normally when you download these files, you'll need to make them executable:
    chmod +x <filename>
    and then run it with:
    ./<filename>
    It'll probably fail because SliTaz uses XVesa, not Xorg. See: http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/x-window.html

    #2: There is another forum article about the IPW2200 driver.

    #3: Yes. Unless it's installed to hard disk.

    #1 video: have nvidia Linux Display Driver - x86 (file: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run); how do you unpack a .run file?
    #2 wireless: have intel linux driver (file: ipw2200_linux_1_2_0.tgz); unpacked under WinXP using 7-zip

    where can i find detailed, step-by-step, instructions on how to load these drivers into slitaz?

    also, to check my understanding, once these are successfully loaded, i will have to remaster in order to keep the changes, Yes|No ?
