BT2 Final install on Compaq Computers

[Compaqguy1]

First, I am not a Linux type guy. I had the older version of BT running on a old NC610. Downloaded the BT2 download and I have tried to install on a NC6220, NC6100, NC610 with no success following the install documents exactly.

When any machine boots after doing a Real Install to the hard drive. I get only a blinking _ on the screen.

Tried multiple machines, and I am at wits in. The CD will boot and I can use it but I really would like to run from the HD.

Thanks for any tips to get BT2 to run.....

You need to download the FX drivers and put them on a Flashdrive then mount it in Linux.

#Mount
#cd /dev/sdd_removable
#sh nvidiadriver.run



Or you can just use Unix ctrl Alt F2

If the CD is too slow you could always go with a USB install.

The reason I wanted to load to a hard drive was to be able to (1) upload components updates (2) save the data from my scans.

If I read the first reply is this a permanent fix or will I need to mount from the usb stick and run these commands each time?

If this is the case, a USB drive would be better as a installation??

Thanks very much for the great support. (I tried this for a month or two!!)
