Re: How do I conect to the internet from runlevel 3

|Using YOU, I want to install the new security fixes to the kernel I'm
|currently running. No problem there, however, when I do this I will need
|to run the nvidia installer to get my graphics back in order. To do this
|the xserver can't be running so I asume I have to boot into runlevel 3 to
|run the installer which accesses the internet to complete the installation
|I believe. How can I dial into my internet connection from runlevel 3 and
|still run the nvidia installer.

You can run the ncurses based YOU. Just get a terminal and do:

unset DISPLAY # just to be sure
yast2

Now you will get a ncurses YaST which is not much harder than the GUI
one. You can get the kernel updates that way.

Don't know what you have to do for nvidia but I assume it can be done
from a text terminal too.
