Well, you could instead choose NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.21.0.25.2tex-4496.i586 which will give you the latest Mandrake Kernel along with the Nvidia module which will not load for you. That way, no more issues about dependencies from the Texstar packages. BTW, I am running Texstar's kernel without any problems. I did not need it, I had already installed the NVIDIA 4496 drivers myself and compiled them for my own stock Mandrake kernel but it was the simplest way to avoid the dependency messages from Texstar's RPM's. > If I understand, what I want is to have a new kernel added as a choice > when LILO runs as opposed to replacing what's there now, yes? Correct. You will have to edit to make it the default choice, I think but you will simply have a new option. Later, after you are comfortable with your choice, you may want to remove the -13.mdk kernel since you will probably not need it. Keep in mind that if you have compiled any modules for your kernel, you will need to recompile those against the -25mdk kernel. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
