Install Mandriva 2009

I had installed Mandriva 2009 for two days.
There are some of my thoughts:
  1. Beginning, The Mandriva 2009 will choose kernel-server-2.6.27.0
  2. After installed, Do not update anythings
  3. Put you install DVD into DVD-Rom, then update kernel to kernel-desktop-2.6.27.0 (which also support memory to 4GB). Or , suggestion, Using Easy urpmi to update to kernel-desktop-2.6.27.5. Please don't forget to install kernel source code.
  4. Type commend as root: urpmi nvidia
  5. If you are not kernel-desktop-2.6.27.5, it will update automaticly
  6. It will install x11-driver-video-nvidia-177.70, dkms-nvidia-current-177.70, nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.27.5-desktop and so on
  7. Type "XFdark" as root
  8. My video card is GeForce 9400GT, it will suggest choose "GeForce 6100 or later"
  9. Reboot, using kernel-desktop-2.6.27.5
Finished!!!!!!
