I downloaded the NVIDIA drivers for a test machine - not hard to do. Got
the GLX driver and the source for the NVIDIA driver proper. Not hard to
do. Started to compile the driver and found : I DON'T HAVE THE DAMN
KERNEL SOURCES for 2.4.29-16mdk !!!!! Mad mad mad I am now. Searched
high and low through the file structures - even found that there is a
softlink in the /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk directory called BUILD which
is broken. Gads!

Being that I ONLY have the two installation CD's from a magazine promo,
am I missing that ONE BLOODY VITAL SOURCE RPM that probably lives on the
THIRD CD - ?????? I don't want to download the frigging kernel
source...and I have a mate that's currently gone for the weekend that
has the third VITAL CD - or am I chasing ghosts here?

And that really does irk me - because I like to recompile my
kernels...(as well as have proper video drivers for my X system...)

Any insights, y'all?
