Hi VERSION (rsync ftp.uninett.no) /ChangeLog/1.550/Fri Aug 24 19:17:02 2001// Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20010825 13:29 This is based on this mail (missing in the mail archive) From: Maks Orlovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] 1.550 - NVIDIA driver installation Probably.. Or, you can use my modification of the NVidia .spec file for it: mail.rochester.edu/~mo002j/NVIDIA_kernel.spec Then, download the patch, tarball to usr/src/RPM/SOURCES, and then rpm -bb NVIDIA_kernel.spec to build the RPM, which can then be installed. This spec will produce binary RPMs named something like this: NVIDIA_kernel_2.4.8-11mdk-1.0_1251-3mdk So multiple copies can be installed. Ideally, of course, one would be bale to build an SRPM form this, and let the user just --rebuild it, but that seems to be against the NVidia license.. I have tried it and had to change owner/group to root of N* then all was beatiful. Here comes the proposed algoritm: After a correct installation and reboot and if the Internet connection is OK, then it is possible with his _kernel.spec to just download kernel-tgz and GLX-rpm and change two things in XF86-4 - and all this could be automated. regards guran -- Mandrake 8.1 beta with kernel 2.4.8-12mdk
