I'm putting together a system based on FC for a friend, but can't quite get everything to work at the same time. The problem is that the latest update kernel (2.6.8.x), still has a problem with writing CDs for which there isn't a simple fix, or any imminent sign of an update. I've therefore had to go with 2.6.7-1.494.2.2.
Actually, there is a 2.6.9 kernel in the development tree which I think is supposed to address the problem:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/2/i386/kernel-2.6.9-1.1_FC2.i586.rpm
YMMV
I'd also like to get accelerated graphics to work (gotta be able to let them play tuxracer!), but Livna only keep the RPMs for the NVIDIA kernel module and nvidia-glx for the latest kernel. I've tried installing from the NVIDIA install script, but there isn't a prebuilt module on their download site for this kernel, and as this is a fairly limited install I don't have GCC available and it brought in a ton of stuff as dependencies when I tried to install it.
The nVidia installer installs the necessary files directly into your system's directories (though it might help to know *which* files need to be moved). All you should have to do is copy them from machine to machine. Failing that, why not just copy the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run package to the new machine and extract/build/install the modules/libraries there....
Does anyone therefore have a copy of the old nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx modules for 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 (preferably not SMP, but that's better than nothing!) that they could let me have a copy of please?
There are 2 modules, and a number of shared libraries, and a few more things.... Here's my installation directory, after I built/installed.
