[arch-general] Kernel upgrades question, as can't revert to earlier kernel

2008-05-28 Thread Nigel Henry
I've noticed for some time now that some distros are upgrading the current running kernel, rather than installing a new kernel version, which if there are problems with the new kernel, you could boot the earlier kernel, which you know was working ok. I'm currently updating my Don't Panic instal

[arch-general] New nvidia drivers in testing

2008-05-28 Thread Thomas Bächler
The new nvidia drivers have finally been released. They are in testing now for both architectures. I upload them completely untested, as my desktop is unaccessible until tomorrow. I dropped the libnvidia-wfb from the package, as it does the same as Xorg's libwfb and our xorg-server is sufficient
