Re: Quake1/Quake3 on Sarge
Well, I can't seem tog et this right...
Downloaded the nVidia file formt there website, begin running
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run
Sorry xserver running shut it down and try again.
Ok get xserver shutdown and attempt running again(as root of course).
Fails thyrough all 3 steps of trying to build from ftp, kernel source etc.
So I apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.27
updatedb and run nvidia file again... no go. cant find source finally I
locate a tar.bz2 of it and extract it... updatedb and run with
--kernel/source-path /kernel-source-2.4.27/ and still I get a failure..
I am at a loss for this...
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Remember I'm a n00b
