So I check the nvidia site everytime I happen to think about it and download their latest *.run installer. So I can build a new kernel, reboot to my normal runlevel 3 login, then "sh ./N[tab][enter]" (if one of them is all there is in /root) answer a few ncurses yes/no's, and its installed. Yeah, its a pita & takes about 2 minutes. But guess what folks, it Just Works(TM) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
