It just didn't hold the card for being "supported by nvidia (or any other known) driver". _Probably_ trying to hand-pick some other nvidia card could do, but that's a hassle that shouldn't. > Was able to install XFree using either apt-get or urpmi, can't > recall which.

But again, it was _already_ included precompiled :) > Tried installing binutils with both urpmi and apt-get, but no > dice, the package was not found and apparently it's not on the > install cds or otherwise available. Yes, these are available on CD2 which can be downoaded when needed. > Re the lilo problem, I beleive i was getting the same error > messages when I would try to restore mandrake's lilo that I > would get if I tried to restore mdk 9.1 lilo using an mdk 9.0 > install cd1.

Multi-distro is somewhat advanced topic anyways =) -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.ru> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
