Hacktastic.
The correct fix for this is covered in the documentation supplied with
the NVIDIA drivers. Why is it that people do not read
to the old PC, without needing to install contrib or
plf to urpmi sources on the old one...the synthesis and hdlist for
contrib and plf take over an hour to download alone, and then I'd
