Kernel source
 
I am trying to install nvidia drivers for my gfx card, I have just re-installer mandrake 10 because I messed somthing up whiel trying to install them last time, but this time it says that I am missing my kernel source or somthin...anyone know what this means? and how I can get the source?

It's a package. It should be shipped with your Mandrake CD's (unless it's on the forth CD that we thought would not be necessary yesterday, remember?.ghehe). Anyway, I'm not familiar with Mandrake, but there must be a tool to add/remove packages. Install the kernel-source package and re-run nvidia installer.

Went to rpmdrake, searched for kernel-source, and the source for both new and old kernels came up, I installed the new one and the install for the drivers was a snap, typed startx to get out of the text interface, edited inittab back to normal, and rebooted...now all I gotta do is edit that x86 file or somthin...Ill read up on that in a min, thanks, you are a big help around here.
