Helo,

I have linux slackware 9.0 with the standard bare.i kernel. Now I want to install my graphic and sound drivers, but when I install the drivers from the nvidia site, the installprogram says, that I don't have the right kernel, i have a via p4 mainbord, and a geforce 4 mx440 graphic card.

I also could use some information about a flash plugin for my konqueror browser (because I don't find one) and information about other drivers (like my soundcard, my cd-rom and cd-rewriter, my floppy station, and so on)

you should have the source for your kernel installed
and let the NVIDIA script build a kernel. I am doing
that with Mandrake 10.0 and a 2.6.3 kernel without
experiencing any problems - the package I am using
is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run.

just to add to my previous post:
>> and let the NVIDIA script build a kernel.
let it build a kernel module (sorry) -

then in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 change
Driver "nv"
to
Driver "nvidia"

not sure what this looks like in Slackware
(I last used Slackware about 10 years ago).

Flashplayer plugin is available form the macromedia website

have u installed the kernel sources ?

yes, I have installed the kernel sources. specifically in the case of Mandrake 10.0
and the kernel I am using: kernel-tmb-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3-4.tmb.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
I also have the kernel source package kernel-tmb-source-2.6.3-4.tmb.1mdk.i586.rpm
(they are actually from the contrib section of Mandrake, i.e. non-standard kernels).

The kernel source should match the kernel that you are running when you run the NVIDIA
install script - you should also run this install script while you are in runlevel 3 (i.e. NOT running X).
