Don't know about a howto, but they pretty much cover it on the site, AND in the readme. Both state specifically that the driver MUST match the distrib and release version of the kernel, or IT WILL NOT WORK!! Those who update directly off the NVidia site should know this already. However, if Mdk put the commercial version in the boxed set, and set it up w/o having folks go thru the NVidia site info and README, then they should realize that those folks will have issues upgrading, and should mention it, just as NVidia does, suggesting either the NVidia site, or another boxed set upgrade, perhaps at a pretty good discount over the standard boxed set price, since these customers are loyal and have already layed down cash for the previous boxed set.. To not do so is irresponsible and a bug. Using NVidia's drivers with the commercial set involves being responsible enough to handle it with the next upgrade, commercial or not, AT LEAST by detecting the issue and telling folks about it and offering a choice. -- Duncan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
