 Nvidia drivers compile fine with 8.2 beta. It warns about that link
 but it goes ok. All you need is in the cds and the drivers.

 The kernel source etc. are on the beta cds, but they are not visible
 in the tree mode. Just open up software manager and switch to
 listview, and you will be amazed to see the "hidden top secret"
 packages, including kernel source.
