The same thing happened when I put the latest drivers on my friend's computer (a fresh RedHat 8.0 install). Anyway, that's unkind of them to call it a source rpm if there's no source. Don't tease me like that! Oh, well, I still like Nvidia :-p - -- Robert Thomas Georgia Institute of Technology Email: gtg663h@mail.gatech.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+QgwHkRe6eFyQaRcRApBnAJ9g4O2rwPv7tmLN3hcZsrYh7SSD8wCgkB7b SOrC7Nt04rIMn1i2oLrrUnY= =em8k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
