Hiya 

        As far as I know, the nvidia drivers are closed source, so, Mandrake 
opted to exclude them from the public downloadable version.

        You will need to download the drivers manually, and install them 
yourself.

        I think, one of the commercial versions of LM8 comes with the nvidia 
linux detonators.
