Only if you don't care which version you get. See in my message my description of problems with the current version at the time of my last installation. There does not seem to be any other way of specifying a specific older version such as I have done here unless you wget them first. Therefore I had to wget 2880 in order to specify that version which was a known working one for me. And I dug up the details on which version was really bad for me. The nVidia version 4191 was the driver version that caused me all kinds of trouble from a few months ago. It had display corruption problems. Reverting to the older known good version fixed the problem. Since the current version is now 4363 which is several builds beyond the one giving me fits I will assume they have likely fixed that problem. So the current one is probably going to be just fine for people. TTFN, Bob
