Hi everyone,
Could anyone tell me how to install the kernel source packages for Suse 9.0 both with AND without Yast2. I am trying to load the drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 card on Inspiron 5150. The driver I am using is NVIDIA-Linux-x86.1.0-4496-pkg2.run
The log is as follows:

-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would
you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site ])?
(Answer: No)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this
means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
ERROR: Unable to find the kernel header files for the currently running kernel.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel header files for your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel header
files are installed, you may specify the kernel include path with the
'--kernel-include-path' commandline option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at

I am unable to locate the kernel source in /usr/src
Should I use the latest kernel/nvidia drivers? I think I will get the same problem again. I have tried searching all possible forums and groups. Since I am a total newbie, some of the posts are too complicated for me. I hope someone can help me before my patience and resources run out and I have to abandon my linux endeavour and retun to MS products..
Please advice..
Thanks
