roots mean that that you should open it with "sudo <path-to-app>"
then itll ask for the root password
then the installation will continue

okay

GUYS PLS TELL ME THE BEST FREE O.S

Like Fedora 11, Ubuntu,open sues

Ha Ha wrong question brother. Are you trying to start a war here ?
Well differant people like differant oses so you should experiment and choose your own.
I suggest that you try mint coz it is one of the easiest to start with.
But other are as just as good.

So try one with the live cd, try another if you like one install it.

Then type "sudo drivername" wihout quots and replace drivername with your driver name in the desktop. press return.

ok i downloaded the "sinhala interface" how do i access that?

you downloaded the package separately or using apt-get ?
Ifyou used apt-get it should've installed SCIM. check the settings or administration menu for the SCIM management, From there, you can select to use Sinhala interface.
I dont use Gnome desktop so I cant say the exact menu to use.

Inno3d nVidia gforce 8600gt

[ratedrkoman]

[ratedrkoman]

Inno3d nVidia gforce 8600gt

far easier to use the ubuntu's provided nvidia glx drivers.

From a command terminal execute :
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180

That'll install the proper nvidia driver.

before trying to install the driver manually, try the ubuntu's recommended method for nvidia drivers.
