Installing Kernel Headers to update nvidia driver
 

My gFroce 3 is being run as PCI, when I tried to install the nvidia binary driver "nvidia" it told me that I didn't have the Kernel Headers installed. (actually that was in redhat, and I switched to mandrake today, but I noticed in the control center that the kernal was not viewable so I'm assuming hte same problem)

How do I install the Kernel Headers?

I have the same problem (Mandrake download edition 9.2). I'm don't locate the file "kernel-source" on 3 cd rom... or have a different name or it isn't... :(

They didn't put the kernel sources on the CDs this time. You have to download them and install them.

Go into a term and type in

that will tell what the exact version of your kernel is. If it is 2.4.22-10mdk then go here and download the kernel. This is a rpm. Just download and click on the file. I usually just save it to the Desktop.

ftp://mdk.linux.org.tw/pub/mandrake/...Mandrake/RPMS/

and select the name

kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm

The one you got earlier is not likely the correct one. It is about a third of the way down.

Hope that helps.
