Hi,
I've installed openSUSE with KDE today and would like to get around a few basics.
1) I want to know how to setup a repositories for updating and installing softwares. There is a ftp server (url: ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in) near me, and I want to know how to add this site as a repository. The method in openSUSE is different from what I've been used to with Ubuntu and so leaves me puzzled.
2) Also, how can I download/install and configure compiz-fusion for openSUSE???
3) Finally, I need to install the graphics driver for NVIDIA 8600 GT graphics card. I have downloaded the driver, now I need to know how to shutdown X server to install it.
PLEASE help me. Thanks a lot in advance.
P.S. The repository I mentioned is down at the moment, but will be up and running in a few days.
