A. SuSE Linux 9.0
-----------------

1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source' package with YaST2.

2) Use the nvidia installer.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

3) Save the binary-part of nvidia kernel module, so the nvidia kernel
module can be re-linked during a kernel update and therefore the
nvidia driver installation will survive a future kernel update as
well.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only
cp NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nv-kernel.o \
/lib/modules/scripts/nvidia/nv-kernel.o-1.0-4496

4) Enable 3D support with SaX2.
--------------------------------------------------

i did all this and will not let me finish the install give me errors any help please this cmd give me error NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only command not found !
here is the url... http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-4496-pkg2.run

SETARCH(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							SETARCH(8)

NAME

       setarch - change reported architecture in new program environment and set personality flags

SYNOPSIS

       setarch arch [options] [program [arguments]]
       arch [options] [program [arguments]]

DESCRIPTION

       setarch	This  utility  currently only affects the output of uname -m. For example, on an AMD64 system, running 'setarch i386 program' will
       cause 'program' to see i686 (or other relevant arch) instead of x86_64 as machine type. It also allows to set various personality  options.
       The default program is /bin/sh.

OPTIONS

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose.

       -h, --help
	      Display help (it is also displayed when setarch takes no arguments).

       -3, --3gb
	      Specifies that processes should use a maximum of 3GB of address space on systems where it is supported (ADDR_LIMIT_3GB).

       -B, --32bit
	      Turns on ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.

       -F, --fdpic-funcptrs
	      Userspace function pointers point to descriptors (turns on FDPIC_FUNCPTRS).

       -I, --short-inode
	      Turns on SHORT_INODE.

       -L, --addr-compat-layout
	      Changes the way virtual memory is allocated (turns on the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT).

       -R, --addr-no-randomize
	      Disables randomization of the virtual address space (turns on ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE).

       -S, --whole-seconds
	      Turns on WHOLE_SECONDS.

       -T, --sticky-timeouts
	      Turns on STICKY_TIMEOUTS.

       -X --read-implies-exec
	      Turns on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.

       -Z, mmap-page-zero
	      Turns on MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.

EXAMPLES

       setarch ppc32 rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild foo.src.rpm
       setarch ppc32 -v -vL3 rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild bar.src.rpm
       setarch ppc32 --32bit rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild foo.src.rpm
