I just installed redhat 6.2 amd was wondering if there was any way I could log onto the internet and download nvidia's drivers for the Geforce 2 mx 420 card without using the gui. I get a really wierd looking color filled screen when I type startx. Thanks guys. :)

if it's not there, instlall it from CD.
lynx http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html
or
wget -c http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/README.txt

cd XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/
