No luck there. Thanks though. I thought it best to document the errors I received when trying to run the nvidia software.
1. no pre-compiled kernel found to match your kernel. Yes to proceed. I do yes. 2. no matching kernel found on nvidia's ftp site. Installer must compile a kernel interface for my system. Ok to proceed. I do ok 3. gcc version check failed. Appear to be compiling the nvidia module with a different compiler than the one used to compile the linux kernel. 2.6 rejects modules compiled with a diffenet version. It appears that v 3.4 was used, current version is 4.0. no to proceed (if you know what you're doing - HA!) I do no. Yes was to abort and set the cc environment to the name of the compiler used on linux kernel and restart installation. 4. unable to find kernel source tree for currently running kernel. M,ake sure source level files for kernel installed and configured. Specify source path with --kernel-source-path command line option. Ok to proceed. 5. installation failed. Hope this helps out. I'll be on irc.freenode.org #CLUG tonight if anyone can help me out. I don't have a second system, so I'll be bouncing back and forth.

Likely you will want -k7 or -686 (if you have a hyper threaded P4 or a dual core, then you will want one with SMP as well). I believe that if you install the following packages the NVidia installer is smart enough to use them. g++-3.4 - The GNU C++ compiler gcc-3.4 - The GNU C compiler gcc-3.4-base - The GNU Compiler Collection (base package) Failing that I can always post a kernel built by the same version of GCC though the recent kernels should have been built with gcc4 (I have Kubuntu on my laptop). Do an aptitude upgrade and then aptitude dist-upgrade to make sure everything is up to date.
