Finally, the featured guest Tim Panton from PhoneFromHere.com and hopefully David Burgess from Open BTS will share with us some of their travails on the distant island where the .nu domain resides.

I then stupidly uninstalled the previous kmod-nvidia & nvidia-x11-drv, hoping it would allow a good install. Nope. Found the proprietary installer on the NVidia site, and I'm up. <rant, snort> On a related note, does anyone have a link to a howto build the NVidia proprietary driver on a kernel that's *not* running, so we could prebuild it before the reboot? I see there are options in the script, but no examples. Also, is dkms coming in, or deprecated? mark
