Nothing wrong with being "fresh to linux" we all were at some point.

Regarding the nv installer what I do is as follows....

1. Bring the machine to single user mode ("init 1" as root)
2. Type "sh" followed by the name of the installer executable file
3. Follow the on screen prompts
4. Once it has all been done, reboot...

Quite simple really

HTH
