How do I shut down xorg or xfree server wich ever on mandrake 10.2 is running. I need to install my video drivers but i cant do it until the X servers are turned off.
 
Ok, now I need gcc. can i get an rpm for it? That is the only kind of file i know how to install right now.

Ive been working on this 8 hours straight someone please help me.
 
An easier way to disable X is to run the command telinit 3 as root. Once you are finished installing the drivers and editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, run telinit 5 (again, as root) to start X again.

urpmi -y gcc will give you a list of all the available gcc packages. If you haven't done so already, you can set up some additional package sources with Easy Urpmi. Once you have the list, choose the one you need and run urpmi package_name. You must be root (su) to use urpmi.
