Hi,

I have shown a friend Linux Lite...
He wants me try it on his PC, Obviously I will try a Live Boot first.

I already know the PC's got a Intel based MOBO,
but with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 graphics card.

To avoid any issues,
I thought I would get a Heads Up on any possible issues.?
Will this be a case of using the install drivers option.

A quick Google led me to what appeared a straight forward install:

GeForce GT 720

Install Drivers

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-settings

Remove Drivers:

Code:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-346

Thanks... Dave
