You can apt-get nvidia-source , which will give you a tar.gz in /usr/src which when untarred will give you a /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel. After that, its simple, just jump into your /usr/src/linux-2.4.x directory, and run: make-kpkg --added-modules nvidia-kernel modules_image This will create a nvidia-kernel deb in /usr/src for that kernel. When you install it, it will be installed only for the kernel you compiled it for. Just make sure you used the make-kpkg method to compile the kernel, and make sure you use the same rev tags, if you used any. > - Is there a way to build the driver for the 2.2 kernel too?

You can apt-get --purge your existing GL drivers (make sure you back it up if you dont know what you're doing) and install nvidia-glx (i'm assuming thats what you're looking for). > > Thanks > -- Fred > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
