Right... I've managed to install and update an installation using a 32gb usb stick!! woot!
trying to install the Nvidia drivers... downloaded the latest ones....
was told that I cant install with x running... so I logged in as root via recovery... pants... that's where i went wrong innit...
if I log in as recovery am I right in thinking that running the .run file will cause "error: unable to create /tmp"
how do I stop running x at boot again?
(sorry for the slightly odd post... been awake over 24hr now so a bit shattered! will be back on later to peruse your helpful responses!!! TTFN!!)

Re: Installing latest Nvidia Drivers????
Downloading the drivers from the nVidia site and compile them yourself can give you headaches. There's amuch easier way to get the latest/stable drivers:
open a terminal and type the following command:
follow the instrcutions given in the terminal
Then type:
Then type:
With the last command, don't get confused with all the packages it is going to update. Your update manager does exactly the same thing. Only now you see it in the terminal.
Good luck!
open a terminal and type the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
Then type:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get upgrade
Good luck!
