------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-01 19:41 ------- 2) As root, do a "urpmi rpm-build" to load that package. Your must do the rpm --rebuild command on that computer, or one that is running the same version of the Linux kernel. If it is built on a different version of the kernel, it will not work, in fact it will not load, which I think is what you have seen. I think you may be able to re-install, and get through the whole thing if you take a few precautions. Do not test the X setup, since that keeps you from completing the install. Do not do individual package selection, since RC1 has some issues with it. You do need to select development as one of your options, which should get most of the packages you need. You can then do a urpmi kernel-source after you boot to install the kernel source. On item 4, it installed the RPM, but the driver was not loadable by the kernel, probably because it was built for a different version of the kernel. The package you buy of the final release should install the Nvidia drivers automatically for you. Your problems are happening mainly because you are testing pre-release software, and were having install issues, which have probably been fixed by this point. You might want to try RC2, or wait for the final version. Sorry I haven't been of more help to you.
