[ut2004] Fedora Core, No Go, No GL

[z0001283 at zoo.co.uk]

Ok, I have been trying to see how to check what card 
I have in the Linux OS as vs. Opening the box and 
looking. Can't see it. I think that I have an Nvidia 
card. Have been to their website, seen the driver 
file download but would not know how to install it?
