Dan, There are some options for making a custom script with whatever kernel you have. Here are my notes for Fedora Core 1 (works with FC2 also). You'll need sudo or root access:
To compile and install for use with Fedora Core: $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --add-this-kernel This will build a custom module named "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run" to install. $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run I hope this helps, Kipp On Tue, 07 Sep 2004 12:00:42 -0400, Dan Monjar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I thought my box said 5500 but it might be this one from the picture.
