Okay I am still messed up. I completely jacked up linux... but. How would I write these steps in the terminal (console window)?
"sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or "kdm stop" if you use KDE)
cd “directory where you have the nvidia installer”
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run"
When I do them one at a time it does nothing except for the last command (install NVIDIA), but then I get the error that Linux is using gcc-4.0, while the kernel was compiled with gcc-4.0, which is what the first commands resolve right?
