well, that's handy :) > I just stopped compiling nVidia drivers since I do > so many testboots and testruns on different kernels... > so I got bored with rebuilding the nvidia drivers for every testboot... yeah, it can be a pain, but it'd be great if you could test using the onboard network with a few different kernels (yours, mandrake's) and see what happens for you. > Seems I'll have to check the specfile scripts ... > and retry building the nvidia drivers... > > as for the symlinks: > I just recreated my kernel-tmb.spec from the kernel-2.4.spec in > 2.4.22-1mdk.... > > If you create the symlink yourself, and rebuild the nVidia > drivers, do they work as they should then? No - they don't build unless the symlink exists, so you can assume I create it myself every time this happens. Now here's something REAL odd - I reinstalled 0.5.1tmb and now THAT'S got the bug too! ARGH. I'll keep playing.

Because your page is faster than contrib :). It's not in contrib on my mirror yet, or wasn't last night when I built it. -- adamw
