    Need Help installing RealTek Wifi Drivers

    I havea linux mint 5.4.0-66-username kernel version and a Realtek wifi with chipset Obda:f179. I am clueless as to how to install the drivers. I have the CD that came with it but I can't install from it. Further it says it is compatible with linux 2.4+ versions. Any idea how to install?

    Keeps getting stuck at GRUB screen.

    I would like to read more about UEFI and BIOS and what are their roles in booting up a software.

    No swap Partition?

    No swap Partition?

    I got it. Thanks for the immense help. Turns out I have to select /usr first and then from the options select tge "use as swap" option. I was just dumb.

    What's wrong in the linux mint.installation program? I installed Linux mint 20 and it was working like a breeze. I did the reccomended updates and was asked to reboot. I rebooted to get stuck on the Grub screen. (GNU grub 2.04). I saw some forums for help and they asked to locate the vmlinuz...
