Do NOT use nvidia's installer. Use Debian's installer and things just work. Nvidia's installer assumes a redhat'ish filesystem which isn't how debian does things. Running 3rd party installers is a bad habit from windows that should be exterminated. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
