This matters because each release of Ubuntu uses a newer version of GCC which will cause you grief when you try to build 3rd party modules for the kernel. If you must do this, then build from source. Get the kernel source from the version of Ubuntu that you want (packages.ubuntu.com) but *build* the kernel on 64Studio (or another Ubuntu 8.04 computer). > Should I brief the troubles and open a ticket or send an email to the 64 > Studio developers list?

Anyway, you should probably get your driver directly from nVidia if you are building your own kernel.
