Re: Newbie Nvidia/Woody problem
Many thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your efforts to help.
Unfortunately, you have overestimated my abilities! I started on this
literally just yesterday, and doing anything at all is requiring a great
deal of research and trial-and-error! Specifically:

I've looked at the page you suggest. There are lots of files named
kernel-something-2.4.x-something. I'm afraid I've no idea which ones to
download, or what to do with them once I've downloaded them!

Believe me, apart from umpteen versions of the Nvidia driver installation
file, everything I have came right off the Woody cd's in a vanilla install!
