If you installed Mint and you don't have working internet isn't that a bigger issue that getting Beryl working?

No offense intended, I'm just saying...

Maybe better get Internet working and then work on Beryl.

Is it possible to migrate linux mint from my hd to a usb drive and boot it onto my comp with internet?
:shock:

I'm not sure what you're asking, but you could download the live CD on the computer that has internet working and then also download the ATI driver and burn them both onto a disk and then carry them over to the ill box and go to town.

Usually you'd install them via the repos .. for which you need a working Internet connection. As for the installer package from the Nvidia.com web site: There is a nice readme on their web site ... for which you'd need a working Internet connection too.

I think your priorities are messed up. Good luck with that.

For example, if you want to install this particular driver do

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run

so substitute the name of your driver for the one that I chose.
