Here is the proprietary driver for ATI graphics cards (eg Radeon). X.org includes basic drivers, but for full 3D performance you should install this driver. Copy the driver file to your home directory, then open a terminal window, switch to root and enter 'sh ati-driver-installer-9.3-x86.x86_64.run' to install. (You may need to close the X Window System first - consult your distro's documentation for more details.)

Here is the proprietary driver for NVIDIA graphics cards, in 32-bit and 64-bit x86 versions. X.org includes basic drivers, but for full 3D performance you should install this driver.

You may need to halt the X server and do this from the command-line.

Smart Boot Manager (SBM) is an OS independent and full-featured boot manager with an easy-to-use user interface. There are some screen shots available. The main goals of SBM are Absolutly OS independent, Flexable and Full-Featured. It has all of the features needed to boot a variety of OSes from several kinds of media, while keeping its size no more than 30K bytes. In another words, SBM does NOT touch any of your partitions, it totally fits into the first track (the hidden track) of your harddisk! SBM now supports booting from floppy, harddisk and CD-ROM. ZIP and LS-120 are planned to be supported recently.
