320mb, I've downloaded the run file from Nvidia. Now got to do a little Guess what, SuSe support is no help either. lol (not a installation issue) Just buy our product! The other problem I had was when I booted back to windows my Net controller info was gone, had to reinstall driver,reconfig card. (not an installation issue) Well another newbie here helped on that. boot windows-shutdown-boot windows - Finding out this forum and google is my best friend. Oh by the way I called Compaq about the net card and driver thing. The lady there just basically said unplug your 2nd H-D and don't bother with the Linux. lol Got a freaking headache

Did you add http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-...ler-HOWTO.html to your repositories? That is how I installed my Nvidia driver.

Just noticed original posting date, please ignore
