Just to be on the safe side. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the Nvidia RPM "knows" which kernel to install to, but hey... > After having done so, I will still have the choice in LILO > to boot > EITHER > with current_kernel and current_nvidia_driver > OR > with new_kernel with the newly installed > new_nvidia_driver. > > Thus, even if the new_nvidia rpm is badly corrupted, I WILL > still have a working X running or current_kernel. > > > Is this what you mean? Yep. You shouldn't be in X when installing the Nvidia drivers anyway. The reason, of course, that X won't start with the new kenel, is that in your XF86Config-4 you have it set to load the Nvidia driver. As long as the old kernel is still loading the Nvidia driver, you can always go back. This whole kernel business *is* kinda unnerving, no? ;-) -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be."-- Lao Tsu
