up2date isn't compiling the kernel, just installing a pre-compiled binary. As for the nv driver, the answer is "maybe". You might be able to get away with repeating the install process, but don't count onit. Binary only drivers are ugly. Opinions vary, but I'd prefer to buy ATI over nVidia just because of the drivers. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
