Shashwat Singh Parihar asks:
I am having trouble in installing Nvidia graphics (nvidia-i686.run) in Fedora.
I have saved Nvidia drivers to /tmp folder and used the command su /tmp/nvidia-i686.run as root user. It displays information like you must have ‘ld’ installed.
What should I do because I am new (tested today) to Linux environment.
