Nothing ever works that easy for me. Downloaded the 5336 run pkg. Run it and get errors said that I needed to recompile Made sure I had the Kernal sources loaded and tried the installer and then I get an error from the installer that it can't determine the NVIDIA Kernal level. Now I am running 2.6.3-7 and the NVIDIA files are for 2.4 I expected to recompile for the 2.6 but it don't seem to get very far. Where do I go from here? DBW -- ( )_( ) ( 0 0 ) --( )-- --0-- Never argue with an idiot. They drag you to their level and then beat you with experience.
