Re: [newbie] Really getting irked...
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...)
