ATI/NVIDIA Driver install in PCLInuxOS 2008

PCLinuxOS 2008 Minime is a boon for so-called advanced users, who like to keep their system free of flab.
It comes with a minimal set of applications and an amazing artwork.
This ultra small release also comes with a few good utilities including an easy setup for ATI/NVIDIA drivers.
Check out the images below and see for yourself how easy is it to install NVIDIA driver.

The Utilities Folder


The Video Installation Tool



Click the NVIDIA Tab


Click the "Install Driver" Button
Install Driver


NVIDIA Driver installation in Progress


At the End, the installer gives an option to restart X Server ( I missed taking a screenshot of that), and on X restart, the correct NVIDIA drivers are installed and used. I think PCLinuxOS 2008 has made ATI/NVIDIA drivers install very easy, however it is still not as easy as the Restricted Drivers Manager of Ubuntu, which not only correctly auto-detects the driver for the card but also gives a pop-up to install it, making the user aware that there is a better driver for his hardware.
Nevertheless, this is a very good attempt by PCLOS devs.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

THIS is the right way, the only way, to tell people how to configure their operating systems!

Nice. Yet in case when one is left at
plain old command prompt it doesn't help much. Digging for apt-get type of install to get nvidia drivers for GF FX5500. Wish me a luck...
