[snipped: steps to build your own drivers] The steps Sean describes are detailed at compiling your own drivers available from Nvidia. If you don't need 3d or any other fancy stuff AND you don't want to spend time to compile them, you can also install XFree from unstable. You can run your desktop using the nv driver that is part of standard distribution of XFree. However, if you run a stable box, upgrading to unstable is also a lot of work. The excellent Reference Guide together with the APT howto will assist you further in working on the outline Sean provided, should you want to go that route : http://www.debian.org/doc/#manuals Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
