I ran module-assistant, and I lost track of all the messages in module-assistant, and got kernel sources installed with aptitude. I have added contrib and non-free, and then lots of nvidia packages came up. Now I have got a newer kernel installed, and 2 extra lines in grub bootloader. Which kernel I try to boot, I get black screen, so I wonder if I have to reinstall everything. This black screen looks like the k/ubuntu black screen I have mentioned. :-? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
