    Hi All,

    I've managed to get the afternoon off, so I'm taking the time to upgrade my
    kernel (using up2date) to 2.4.22-1.2166

    However, I know that last time I upgraded, I had to reinstall my Geforce
    drivers - so I'm looking to upgrade them to the latest version as well.

    I currently have the following installed:

    [root@mailgate new]# rpm -qa | grep nvidia
    nvidia-glx-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1
    kernel-module-nvidia-driver-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1
    kernel-module-nvidia-driver-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1

    Firstly, I can't recall where I got those rpms from :(

    Secondly, I grabbed a URL from another thread on this list and went to look at
    the rpms there: http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/fc1/nvidia-graphics/

    There are so many to choose from, that I'm confused as to which to get.

    I have an Althlon XP 1800 and a Geforce 4 Ti (I forget which model)

    Can somebody please tell me what to install and ease my aching brain.

    Thanks.

      ... Unless something was changed recently, the idea is that pre-upgrade simply retrieves the minimal rpms needed to upgrade a specific system, then adds an additional grub boot item for upgrade. ... This would include removing old kernels from /boot, and updating packages (a two step process - install newer rpms, cleanup bits left over from old rpm that was updated). ... /lib/modules comes from the kernel, so I would expect to only have modules for the most recent installed kernel in there after the upgrade. ...
