Hi, first of all , is the present driver compiled into the kernel or as a module?
If first option, you will need to compile a new kernel eithout the driver. if second, easy, goto /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/drivers and delete the module which will be there somewhere. Then modify ( delete) the entry in your modules.conf or modprobe.conf, whichever is applicable. then you can go ahead with the nvidia driver install. regards, Joy.M.monteiro On Sat, 8 Jan 2005 09:37:32 -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a Nvidia network card.
