199383 2003-12-11 02:55:00 I installed Nvidia drivers under mandrake 9.2 last night. Not so easy as 9.1 so here's how

Download and install kernel source (it's just a double click)
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS


Then follow the instructions for 9.1
www.start-linux.com

199384 2003-12-11 05:10:00 The kernel sources should be included with your Distro, and second of all they _should_ have a pre-built binary on FTP! Chilling_Silently (228)
199385 2003-12-12 06:30:00 mandrake 9.1 came with the kenel source but mandrake 9.2 does not.

9.2 uses a kernel the Nvidia drivers don't recognise. Thus the driver install programme needs to access the hernel source headers.
